What do reviewers say about Type Writer and Noir Anthracite?
Type Writer doesn't follow the oriental playbook. Instead of sweet warmth, there's dry smoke, paper, and a castoreum edge that splits the room. The people who love it tend to love it hard.Type Writer
Here's what enthusiasts understand: this isn't another competent woody. The galbanum and Sichuan pepper open like a slap of cold air, sharp, confrontational.Noir Anthracite
