    What do reviewers say about Vanilj and By the Fireplace?

    Soft without being safe. The cardamom keeps it from going full gourmand, adds a spiced edge that stops it from feeling like dessert. It's powdery and warm.Vanilj
    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
