What do reviewers say about Oliban and Black Eau de Toilette?
Incense fragrances either smell like church candles or something you can't stop thinking about. Oliban is the second kind. The frankincense is unapologetic, but chamomile keeps it grounded.Oliban
Built for someone who walks in and the room recalibrates. The smoke-and-leather combo isn't novel, but the arid black pepper front that refuses to soften? That's the move.Black Eau de Toilette
