Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Series 3 Incense: Kyoto Eau de Parfum
Kyoto is divisive, with some finding it a wispy, soapy disappointment, while others hail it as a masterpiece of calming, woody incense. It's subtle, serene, and absolutely ideal for intimate moments.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Full Incense Eau de Parfum
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: full-on, unadulterated incense. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its authentic churchy vibes and detractors finding it too linear or unwearable. Don't blind buy unless you live for frankincense.
