What do reviewers say about Hala and Bois d'Encens?
Cedarwood overdose, some say. That's exactly the point. Hala doesn't hedge or soften, it arrives and commits. The frankincense-labdanan base is the real seduction: resinous, warm.Hala
Some fragrances want to fill the room. This one wants to fill your memory. The smoke lingers, intimate and close, the way a fireplace does when the last log's gone but the warmth remembers it was.Bois d'Encens
