What do reviewers say about Oajan and Poudre Impériale?
Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
Warm spice, powder, and cedar, a powdery statement that means business. The heliotrope and vanilla heart is the real draw here. Not for those who want to disappear.Poudre Impériale
