What do reviewers say about Incense Forest and Fille en Aiguilles?
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
Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
