What do reviewers say about Caftan and 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
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
