What do reviewers say about Tellus and Geist?

Tellus goes beyond approximating earth. It captures something essential about mineral and soil. That distinction matters. Some people want a suggestion of forest floor.Tellus

It's sweet enough to pull you in. Then the ink and leather arrive and don't apologize. This is for someone who wants dark, earthy, a little literary, not a fragrance that announces itself but one.Geist
