What do reviewers say about Chergui and Caftan?
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 frankincense at its heart is not subtle. It announces itself in a way that some will read as church incense and others will call magnificent, and that's the draw.Caftan
