What do reviewers say about Embers and Black Calamus?
This fragrance doesn't whisper. The clove-spice opening announces itself, and the incense stays for hours, not because it's loud, but because it has something to say.Embers
This one polarizes. The calamus leans dry, almost medicinal, and the resinous sweetness isn't for everyone. But if you want something that smells like it knows things, dark, smoky, complex.Black Calamus
