Which Should You Buy?
Bois d'Encens is a divisive frankincense bomb - genuinely profound for some, a short-lived disappointment for others. If you crave that dry, liturgical church vibe, this is your spiritual journey in a bottle, but its hit-or-miss performance is a real sticking point.
This isn't for the faint of heart. Falkar is a powerhouse oud that proudly flaunts its animalic, leathery side. It's divisive, raw, and unapologetically masculine, smelling like a horse stable in the best possible way. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for challenging, bold scents.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Despite its often intimate sillage, the sophisticated and serious nature of this woody-incense scent makes it better suited for formal events or date nights where its unique character can be appreciated. It's too profound for casual wear and the mixed performance means it might not always last a full workday.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its beast mode performance and strong animalic accords make it risky for the office, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event, especially in cooler weather. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sports.
