  1. One of the most brutal incense I’ve ever tried. Upon opening, it’s pure animal, only for those who love oud to the max, with a hint of pepper. As it dries, it becomes spiced wood with a very subtle trail of rose. It doesn’t smell like the metro, but after an hour, it’s perfect. The price is insane, but it’s worth every penny.

  2. Incredible fragrance, the most hidden gem in the collection and has nothing to envy from the all-powerful The Night.
