Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Meisterstuck EDP
This one's a proper dark horse. Montblanc's 'Black Meisterstuck' has surprised many with its sophisticated, wearable incense take. It's a bit niche, a bit churchy at times, but beautifully blended for those who appreciate a mature, ambery depth without overwhelming everyone in the room.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Smoke of the Soul EDP
An enigmatic blend of smoke and resins, Smoke of the Soul is perfect for those who enjoy complex and mysterious fragrances.
