Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Smoke for the Soul EDP
Smoke for the Soul is a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a polarising, unapologetically weed-forward statement that some will adore for its daring realism and others will flat-out detest. It's not for the faint of heart or those who prefer to blend in.
Statement
Our Verdict - Assenzio EDP
A divisive herbal musk that some adore for its clean, natural charm and powdery dry-down, while others find its opening too sharp or reminiscent of old-school bathroom essentials. It's a comforting, unique fragrance that shines for those seeking a tranquil, green fresh scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Smoke for the Soul

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This scent's very realistic and intense cannabis note, combined with moderate longevity and sillage, makes it inappropriate for office or formal settings where subtlety is key. It leans more towards casual or intimate date wear, allowing its unique character to be appreciated without causing offence, though its strong opening might still be too much for early dates.

Assenzio

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it well-suited for casual wear, office environments, and even post-sport refreshment. While it has good longevity, it's generally not a powerhouse, preventing it from being too attention-grabbing for formal events, though its relaxed vibe allows for intimate date settings.
