    What do reviewers say about Chergui and Tabac Exquis?

    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
    The tobacco-chocolate pairing walks a line most fragrances don't even try to find. Not sweet enough to be dessert, not dry enough to scare someone off.Tabac Exquis
