What do reviewers say about By the Fireplace and Coffee Tabac?
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
The 28% concentration makes it a skin scent, not a room filler. That's not a flaw, it's the point. Coffee Tabac is for the person who wants fragrance that lingers close.Coffee Tabac
