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.

Our Verdict - Ecstasy Eau de Parfum

Ecstasy is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a divisive concoction of dark woods and church incense, or an old-fashioned floral soap. Don't blind buy, this one is proper challenging.

Season and Occasion Fit

Series 3 Incense: Kyoto Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its gentle sillage and moderate longevity make it perfect for quiet environments like the office or casual wear, as it won't overwhelm. However, its understated nature might be too subtle for formal events or energetic sports.

Ecstasy Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Given its strong, smoky, and earthy profile, Ecstasy is not suitable for the office or casual settings. It can work for a unique, bold date night, and definitely suits formal evening events, especially in colder weather. The dark and intense nature prevents it from being a versatile 'dumb reach'.
