What do reviewers say about Mortel and Encens Japonais?
Spice-forward, resin-heavy, and unapologetically warm. Mortel is not a crowd-pleaser in the traditional sense. It projects modestly but lasts for hours, making it ideal for those who want a fragrance.Mortel
Most incense fragrances hit you with smoke. This one doesn't. The opening is fresh, almost citrusy, powdery iris and bright orange before the smudging even begins.Encens Japonais
