Which Should You Buy?
A cult classic, Black Cashmere is a divisive, intoxicating blend of dark spices and woods. It's a masterpiece that inspires obsession, but be warned, it's not for everyone. If you get it, you really get it.
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.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and warm, spicy character make it less suitable for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual allure is perfect for dates and evening events, ideally in cooler weather. Many reviews highlight its 'sexy' and 'intimate' qualities for special occasions.
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.
