What do reviewers say about Sacreste and Incense City?
This is not a polite fragrance. Sacreste opens loud, burns through its heart with aggressive frankincense, and only reluctantly softens into its base.Sacreste
If you need a gentle, inoffensive scent, look elsewhere. Incense City is for those who want their presence announced. It offers no polite transitions.Incense City
