Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Larmes du Désert

This one's a divisive one, blending traditional incense and woods with a rather unexpected sweetness. While some rave about its golden, spiritual qualities, others are left scratching their heads, finding it too sweet or strangely fruity. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Arabian Incense Artisan Perfumery

This is a seriously polarising scent - some swear it's a budget niche masterpiece of church incense and ancient woods, while others find it too rough or just 'sweet ash'. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're a 'beautiful weirdo', this might just be your next signature.

Season and Occasion Fit

Larmes du Désert

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate projection and deep, resinous nature make it generally unsuitable for the office, though some find it office-safe given a lighter hand. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its warm, sophisticated character can truly impress, particularly in cooler months. Not suited for casual daywear or sport due to its density.

Also Works:

Formal

Its strong projection and intense smoky, balsamic accords make it unsuitable for an office setting where it might overwhelm. However, its bold and mysterious character is perfect for a date night or a formal evening event where you want to make a statement without being overtly casual.
