What do reviewers say about Golden Gai and Chergui?
Tobacco and osmanthus do not usually share a room. Pipe smoke and apricot do it in Golden Gai. If you have been curious about the floral-tobacco crossover, this is where those notes meet.Golden Gai
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
