What do reviewers say about No8 Opopanax and Amber Star?
A resin-forward Extrait for those who've moved past the need to fill the room. The opoponax brings that golden, almost medicinal sweetness; the sandalwood keeps it grounded.No8 Opopanax
Amber Star is not a safe blind buy. The smoky guaiac wood and resinous myrrh in the heart are divisive, and the drydown, while gorgeous, requires patience.Amber Star
