Vert d'Encens Eau de Parfum vs Shazam! Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A truly unique green-amber scent that divides opinion but clearly captivates. It's either an addictive, mysterious forest floor dream or a cloying, messy confusion. Try before you buy, if you can even find it given its cult-favourite discontinued status.
This is a bold, spicy amber that manages to be both deeply traditional and uniquely memorable. Some find it a bit too unusual, but for those who get it, Shazam! is pure magic and an absolute must-try for oriental fans.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with its distinct, somewhat 'gothic' woody-amber character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its complex blend is highly appropriate for evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.
