What do reviewers say about Monolith and Vitrum?
Jorum Studio's smokiest fragrance, and they mean it. Peat smoke and coffee don't negotiate, the coffee deepens, the smoke holds, and the whole thing lingers long after you've stopped paying attention.Monolith
Most vetiver fragrances go one of two ways: too clean or too dirty. Vitrum splits the difference. The smoke and rose make it wearable for anyone who's ever hesitated at the vetiver shelf.Vitrum
