Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Byerley EDP
Byerley is a proper Marmite fragrance - you'll either adore its dark, earthy vetiver and sophisticated woodiness, or you'll hate its lack of sweetness and what some find an 'old-school' vibe. Not for the faint of heart, but a serious statement for those who get it.

Our Verdict - Incense Oud EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined incense-oud, but be warned: this one polarises opinion on its longevity. Expect a smooth, masterfully blended experience, but don't expect it to last for days. If you love incense, this is a must-try, but bring your wallet.

Season and Occasion Fit

Byerley

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its mature, woody profile makes it excellent for formal wear or a professional office setting where gravitas is appreciated. However, its intensity and lack of mass appeal mean it scores lower for casual situations and sport, and only moderately well for dates.

Incense Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

While many praise its refined nature, the bold, woody, and smoky accords, combined with its variable projection, make it less suitable for office wear. It truly shines in formal settings and intimate dates, where its luxurious and mysterious character can be appreciated without being overpowering.
