What do reviewers say about DEV #1: Foreplay and Chergui?
Not for the faint of heart. The animalic notes here aren't decorative, they're the point. If you've ever wanted to smell like a room someone else just left, this is your fragrance.DEV #1: Foreplay
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
