What do reviewers say about Oliban and Casbah?
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
The angelica gives Casbah a green, almost bitter edge that makes the smoke actually interesting. You notice it in the opening, where the sharp herb cuts through the spice, and you notice it later.Casbah
