Which Should You Buy?
This is *the* reference for a pure Catholic church incense, bar none. It's divisive; some find it a meditative masterpiece, others a dusty, unwearable relic. Performance complaints are consistent, so be prepared to overspray or reapply.
This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Some find its amber-cardamom punch mesmerisingly potent and long-lasting, while others are swiftly put off by its sweetness or find its performance surprisingly lacking. Try before you buy, it's definitely divisive.
