What do reviewers say about Noir Anthracite and Italian Cypress?
Here's what enthusiasts understand: this isn't another competent woody. The galbanum and Sichuan pepper open like a slap of cold air, sharp, confrontational.Noir Anthracite
The cypress is the whole point. It doesn't blend in, doesn't soften, doesn't apologize. Everything else, citrus, herbs, warm moss, exists to support that single austere note.Italian Cypress
