Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arabian Incense Artisan Perfumery

This is a seriously polarising scent - some swear it's a budget niche masterpiece of church incense and ancient woods, while others find it too rough or just 'sweet ash'. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're a 'beautiful weirdo', this might just be your next signature.

Statement

Our Verdict - Boswellia Scotia

This isn't your Granny's frankincense. Boswellia Scotia delivers a pure, unburnt, and intensely cold take on the ancient resin, polarising those expecting warmth but captivating others with its stark, ethereal beauty. Prepare for a frosty, almost glacial experience, with some finding it a stroke of genius, others a bit too 'cleaning product'.
