What do reviewers say about Ponderosa and Chergui?
Pine people call it too sweet. Dessert people call it too woody. That's the whole point. Ponderosa is for someone who doesn't choose sides, or the tree that wouldn't either.Ponderosa
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
