    What do reviewers say about Cristal de Roche (Rock Crystal) and Black Afgano?

    This is resin-forward incense that means business. The opening's a cold clear cut, then it fills the room with something ancient and sacred. You'll either want to live in that smoke or find it too.Cristal de Roche (Rock Crystal)
    This is not a polite fragrance. Black Afgano opens harsh, almost aggressive with its hemp and green notes, then slowly reveals its smoky tobacco and coffee heart.Black Afgano
