What do reviewers say about Chergui and Excess?
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
Some will find the patchouli too much. Others will find it just right. The oak bark and amber resin underneath give it a warmth that keeps you coming back.Excess
