This one's a divisive marvel. Lineage conjures up anything from a serene seaside temple to a full-blown fish market disaster, but you can't deny its unique, mineral-infused incense character. It's not a crowd-pleaser, it's a conversation starter.

A budget take on Xerjoff Groove Xcape. The metallic pepper-cardamom-ginger flash drifting into incense, resins and a benzoin-labdanum base captures the original's spicy, dreamlike balsamic oriental; this dupe flattens some of the resinous depth and gives up the Xerjoff's polished radiance.
