What do reviewers say about Incense Forest and Blackbird?
The coffee note is doing the heavy lifting here, not the incense. That's the move that separates this from every other smoky wood: a heart of coffee, caramel.Incense Forest
Blackberry and fir are not subtle notes, they're here to announce themselves. The tart edge splits the room: some find it electrifying, others find it sharp. That charge is the whole point.Blackbird
