What do reviewers say about Smoke and Mirrors and Mirages Desert Serenade?
The opening has an herbal sharpness to it, a green quality that quickly settles. Then the sweetness arrives, warm and golden. Myrrh gives it a slightly medicinal quality. That's the tell.Smoke and Mirrors
Saffron and cumin don't ask permission. This is honeyed leather for people who know what they want, bold, unapologetic, projecting strong from the first spray.Mirages Desert Serenade
