What do reviewers say about By the Fireplace and Carnival of Souls?
Built for the hours you want to stay in. Not the ones you need to leave. The smoke leans Intimate, warm, woody, close. It doesn't fill the room. It earns it.By the Fireplace
Built for someone who wants haunting beauty over loudness. Powdery florals, warm spice, smoky resin, strange and wearable. It's a unique experience worth seeking out.Carnival of Souls
