What do reviewers say about By the Fireplace and Eternal Roots?
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
Not every fruity fragrance has the backbone to stand up to its own sweetness. Eternal Roots does. The smoky base keeps the lychee and raspberry from taking over, giving you something that lasts 6-8.Eternal Roots
