Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois d'Armenie EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined benzoin-incense masterpiece that Guerlain inexplicably chopped. Bois d'Armenie is a sophisticated, comforting scent that everyone seems to be scrambling to get their hands on before it's gone for good.

Our Verdict - 702 Encens Privé EDP
This one's a proper slow burn. It starts peppery and a bit wild, then mellows into a woody, smoky hug. Undeniably unique, it might not be a crowd-pleaser on first sniff, but it's got real depth for those who appreciate something a bit different.

The prominent smoky and amber accords give this scent a warm, enveloping quality that's perhaps a bit too cosy for the office, but perfect for evenings out or more intimate settings. It leans more towards thoughtful occasions than everyday wear.
