Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Series 3 Incense: Zagorsk Eau de Parfum

This is a masterpiece, polarising for its hyper-realistic portrayal of a cold, meditative Orthodox church, complete with pine forests and melancholic solitude. It's not for everyone, but those who 'get it' adore its unique, evocative atmosphere.

Statement

Our Verdict - Arso Eau de Parfum

Arso is a surprisingly divisive scent that some adore as a photo-realistic journey through a pine forest campfire, while others find it too linear, too close to household cleaners, or simply not worth the hefty price tag. It's a statement, certainly.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:

Casual Sport

Its subdued sillage and introspective nature make it suitable for casual wear or personal enjoyment rather than social events. The cool, fresh elements lean towards sport or relaxed settings, but its unique character means it won't suit every situation.

Also Works:

Date

Profumum Roma is known for its strong performance, and Arso's excellent longevity and moderate to strong sillage make it too assertive for office wear. Its cosy, unique woody profile lends itself well to casual settings and cooler-weather dates, though its rugged nature might be a bit much for formal affairs.
