Woody Incense EDP

Which Should You Buy?
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.
Woody Incense channels Armani Prive's Bois d'Encens with its dry frankincense and peppery cedar smoke. The meditative church-incense character comes through, though it lacks the resinous depth and projection of the niche original.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
The dry, smoky incense-and-wood profile is most at home in autumn and winter and feels heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Its austere, contemplative character suits formal and evening wear and is restrained enough for the office.
