    What do reviewers say about Mirages Midnight Train and Chergui?

    Patchouli, but the kind that actually smells like the earth, not the stoner cliché. It's dry. Warm. Builds slow. The opening is sharp enough to be a statement.Mirages Midnight Train
    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
