What do reviewers say about Eldritch and Rochester?
Dense from the first spray and never apologizes for it. The smoke and leather don't perform for anyone, they simply exist, heavy and certain, the way the mountain does.Eldritch
Rochester finds October, its soil, its smoke, its quiet ghosts. That specificity is the whole appeal. If you want safe, look elsewhere.Rochester
