    What do reviewers say about K'abel and Arabie?

    The powdery drydown is a feature, not a bug. Yes, it smells expensive in the way a closed book does, you know there's more inside, and the restraint is the point.K'abel
    This one doesn't negotiate. Either it becomes your signature or it collects dust on a shelf. The spice- resin density pulls no punches, cumin, clove, warm myrrh layered over candied sweetness.Arabie
