What do reviewers say about Tartan and Vietnamese Coffee?
This isn't a safe buy. The hops give it an unusual fermented edge, and the bread note, yes, actual bread, keeps surprising you. But that's the whole point. Tartan doesn't want to be liked by everyone.Tartan
This is not a sophisticated coffee scent. It is a Vietnamese coffee scent, unapologetically sweet and strong. The milk-chocolate heart makes it feel more like a dessert than a morning ritual.Vietnamese Coffee
