    What do reviewers say about Rotano and Chergui?

    If you've been searching for a leather that smells like the animal itself, not the tannery, not the cologne, Rotano might be the one. The mineral cypriol keeps it from going sharp.Rotano
    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
