Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Faux Semblant EDP
This is a bold, complex beast. Faux Semblant isn't for the faint of heart, blending challenging dirty oud and indolic florals with resinous amber and honey into something truly unique, and utterly divisive. You'll either adore its gothic opulence or find it downright offensive.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Eau Sacree EDT
This one's a divisive trip to church: some swear by its sacred, resinous warmth, while others find it a bit too stern or fleeting. If pure, unsmoked incense is your jam, prepare to be converted; otherwise, you might be left wanting more.

Season and Occasion Fit

Faux Semblant

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and rich, dark character, Faux Semblant is too assertive for office or casual wear. It shines in formal settings or on an evening date, where its opulent and complex nature can be appreciated without overwhelming the space.

Eau Sacree

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its warm, resinous nature and sophisticated blend make it suited for formal and date settings. While some find its projection intimate, it's generally too serious and distinct for office wear and utterly unsuitable for sport.
