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 - Black Oregano Extrait
This one's a proper challenge. Black Oregano starts out with a confrontational, almost body-odour-like kick. Stick with it, and you'll find a surprisingly refined, tea-like drydown that might just win you over. Definitely not a blind buy and divisive, as expected for a high-end niche.

Season and Occasion Fit

Smoke for the Soul

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This scent's very realistic and intense cannabis note, combined with moderate longevity and sillage, makes it inappropriate for office or formal settings where subtlety is key. It leans more towards casual or intimate date wear, allowing its unique character to be appreciated without causing offence, though its strong opening might still be too much for early dates.

Black Oregano

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

The initial intense, herbaceous opening with a perceived 'body odour' character makes this unsuitable for office wear, alongside its strong sillage initially. It mellows into a more refined scent, making it potentially interesting for a date or specific casual evening events, but overall it's too polarizing for broad use.
