Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Memoir Man EDP
Memoir Man is a deeply divisive blend of gothic green and smoky leather, with its once-legendary performance now a mere memory. Expect a unique, artistic scent that's either a mysterious masterpiece or a watery disappointment, depending on the batch and your luck.

Our Verdict - Incense Oud EDT
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Beastly bold, complex, and luxurious, but some find it hard to wear, even a bit challenging. Definitely not for the faint of heart or those who prefer something subtle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Memoir Man

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its dark, smoky, and leathery profile leans into more intimate or formal settings. While not overpowering in newer batches, its unique and potent character makes it less suited for a typical office or sporty environment. It excels in cooler weather, making it ideal for evening dates or sophisticated gatherings.

Incense Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its beastly projection and longevity, Incense Oud is generally too overwhelming for an office setting. It's better suited for cooler evenings, especially dates or formal events where its luxurious, bold character can shine without dominating the space.
