Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - B683 EDP
This one's a divisive genius. Some call it an avant-garde masterpiece, a 'knowing smirk in liquid form' blurring the lines between fresh and spicy, while others find its unique metallic edge 'uninviting' or even 'unremarkable'. Performance is the real elephant in the room though, with many declaring it tragically fleeting.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Incense & Cuir EDP
If a sophisticated, warm, and somewhat mysterious scent is what you're after, Incense & Cuir delivers. It's a modern take on oriental themes, perfect for those who appreciate depth without being overwhelmed.

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its clean, sophisticated profile makes it ideal for office and formal wear, as many users attested to finding it professional and understated. While the spice and amber hint at date night appropriateness, some noted its lacklustre longevity, limiting its impact for longer social events. It's generally too refined for casual or sport settings.

Incense & Cuir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on warm spicy, woody and amber - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and warm, woody accords make it suitable for office wear if applied subtly, and it truly shines on dates or formal occasions where its nuanced character can be appreciated. It's too rich and complex for sporting activities.
