What do reviewers say about Amber Absolute and Chergui?
People will tell you this lacks complexity. They're wrong. It's just not complicated. Amber Absolute does one thing and refuses to apologize for it. The fragrance makes no apologies for being exactly.Amber Absolute
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
