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 - Shaari Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent spice, deep leather, and a divisive oud that some find heavenly and others, well, a bit like a chicken coop. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but incredible value if it clicks for you.

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.

Shaari Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its strong projection and longevity make it unsuitable for office settings where it could be overwhelming. It truly shines for formal events and dates, offering a unique, confident aroma, but it's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sports.
