Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ebony Fume
A love-it-or-hate-it scent that punches well above its weight class. Ebony Fume delivers huge smoky, woody vibes at a bargain price, although some get a repellent-like quality. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it polarises opinions sharply, but a solid performer for those who get it.

Our Verdict - Incense Ebony
A smoky, churchy incense bomb that's a dead ringer for a much pricier bottle. Give it time to macerate and it transforms from an ashtray into a surprisingly fresh and woody powerhouse, though some find it a touch synthetic.
