What do reviewers say about Encens Asakusa and Kalahari?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Encens Asakusa doesn't need to. Built for quiet rooms, contemplative walks, the kind of afternoon that asks nothing of you.Encens Asakusa
This one doesn't fill the room. It wants you close instead. Warm spice and smoky wood for someone who doesn't need to announce themselves, the cardamom-saffron opening is bold.Kalahari
