    What do reviewers say about Diamond Of Velvet and Red Hoba?

    This fragrance asks you to decide what you think about peach and leather together. The saffron makes it warm. The birch tar makes it smoky. Some find the combo intoxicating. Others find it jarring.Diamond Of Velvet
    Some people catch the incense and think 'church.' Others get the castoreum and think 'bodies.' The truth sits somewhere between, warm, resinous, and unapologetically present.Red Hoba
