Which Should You Buy?
Habdan is seriously underrated, with a loyal following who call it PDM's hidden gem. It's a complex, classy blend that might not be a blind buy for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique spicy-sweet personality.
This is a masterpiece for incense lovers, but its ecclesiastical drama isn't for everyone. It's a challenging wear that divides opinion sharply; you'll either adore its spiritual depth or find it unsettlingly gothic. Definitely one to sample before committing.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and heavy incense profile make it completely unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for date nights or formal events, where its unique, dramatic character can be appreciated without overwhelming.
