Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Series 3 Incense: Kyoto

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 - 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.
