Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Smoke for the Soul EDP
Smoke for the Soul is a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a polarising, unapologetically weed-forward statement that some will adore for its daring realism and others will flat-out detest. It's not for the faint of heart or those who prefer to blend in.
Statement
Our Verdict - Soul Smoke EDP
Soul Smoke chases the discontinued Kilian Smoke for the Soul's raw cannabis-and-smoke signature. The grapefruit-eucalyptus opening lands close, but the birch-cashmere-wood base fades quicker and reads simpler than Kilian's dense original.
