Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Incense & Hinoki EDT
This one's a sleeper hit! Massimo Dutti's Incense & Hinoki offers niche quality at a high street price, leaving a stunning impression despite any potential performance niggles.

Our Verdict - Brooklyn EDT
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Gorgeous, fresh, and sophisticated on paper, but the performance is shocking for most. If you're lucky enough to have it last, you'll love it, but for many, it's a fleeting whisper that vanishes quicker than a free bar tab.

Season and Occasion Fit

Incense & Hinoki

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

Its amber, smoky and white floral composition leans towards autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its smoky, woody character with warm spice makes it suitable for evenings and cooler weather. While not overly projecting, the incense can be a bit much for a conservative office, but it shines on dates and casual outings.

Brooklyn

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, aromatic character makes it highly suitable for everyday wear, including the office and casual outings, as it won't offend. However, its often-mentioned poor longevity and projection mean it might struggle to make an impact in formal settings or on a lively date, despite its sophisticated scent profile, reserving it for more intimate encounters instead.
