What do reviewers say about Sacreste and Lavs?
This is not a polite fragrance. Sacreste opens loud, burns through its heart with aggressive frankincense, and only reluctantly softens into its base.Sacreste
Lavs is not interested in being liked. It opens confrontational and stays spiritual. If you want something polite, look elsewhere. This is incense-draped drama for those who understand that fragrance.Lavs
