What do reviewers say about Dzongkha and Monk?
This one splits people. Some find the opening harsh. Others say it smells like a Bhutanese temple at sunrise. There's no sugar here, just dry spice, leather.Dzongkha
Meditation that doesn't whisper. The name suggests something austere, but Monk is full, assertive, and genuinely warm, an amber-wrapped animalic that feels worn-in rather than composed.Monk
