    What do reviewers say about The Bee's Knees and Chergui?

    This isn't sweet. The opening hits like cold smoke and bitter herbs, then something warmer takes over, tobacco and leather holding close. If that sounds like your kind of conversation.The Bee's Knees
    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
