What do reviewers say about Kilauea and Lava Rose?
Kilauea is the fragrance for people who want smoke without the campfire. Volcanic mineral, not pyromaniac. The florals keep it warm; the smoke keeps it interesting.Kilauea
This one doesn't play by rose rules. Smoke, mineral, earth that remembers heat, not the usual bergamot-and-musks you'd expect. The people who love it love it hard. The ones who don't?Lava Rose
