What do reviewers say about Nu and Aventus?
Some people lean back when incense enters the room. Others lean in. Nu is built for the second group, the ones who find smoke meditative rather than overwhelming.Nu
Batch variations became part of the appeal. Tracking down the right one, then knowing exactly what you're wearing, that's the Aventus experience. Not just a fragrance.Aventus
