What do reviewers say about Steading and Sova?
It's sweet, it's smoky, and it's unapologetically thick. Some will find it too much; others will find it's the only kind of much they want. The kind of scent that earns its longevity in the good way.Steading
Sova refuses to play by the rules. No opening, no drydown, just an uncompromising declaration of hay, beeswax, and warm amber. If you want a conventional fragrance, look elsewhere.Sova
