Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Or Encens Eau de Parfum

A masterful smoky-incense and leather fragrance with a golden, mysterious warmth. Or Encens is for those who want gravitas and sophistication, not mass appeal. It commands attention with its complexity and depth.

Statement

Our Verdict - Ra'ed Oud Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper statement, not for the faint of heart or those seeking universal affection. It's bold, unapologetic, and divisive - you'll either love its rugged character or be put off by its eccentricities. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like your fragrances challenging.

Season and Occasion Fit

L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Or Encens Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

The dense incense, amber, leather, and smoky woods make this an ideal choice for fall and winter, radiating warmth and richness in cool weather. Its power and spice may be too much for summer but work for cool spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

This bold, resinous scent is best for formal, evening, or date settings where its smoky richness shines. It's too commanding and dense for office or sports but can work for casual nights out.

Ra'ed Oud Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its strong projection and distinct, non-mass-pleasing character make it unsuitable for office wear. While bold, its rugged leather and oud notes might be too intense for some dates, but it can shine in casual settings, especially in cooler weather. It lacks the polish for most formal events.
