What do reviewers say about Tellus and Sulphur [16S]?
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
Most fragrances try to smell good. This one tries to smell real. The animalic, the smoky, the bitter-green, it doesn't apologize for any of it. That's the whole point.Sulphur [16S]
