    What do reviewers say about The Essentials Bath and Beauty and Oliban?

    This is not a safe floral. The galbanum in the opening brings a green, herbal quality that makes itself known, and the honeyed notes soften everything as the fragrance develops.The Essentials Bath and Beauty
    This is incense without the church. No candles, no ceremony. Just the material itself, stripped of context and draped across skin. The drydown stays close, intimate.Oliban
