Which Should You Buy?

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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Silk Rites EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Prive Encens Satin - a smoky fragrance led by Incense, with woody depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Smoke of the Soul

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

The smoky and resinous facets make this fragrance best suited for the cooler temperatures of fall, while the spicy and woody notes also work well in spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

With its moderate projection and balanced intensity, Smoke of the Soul is ideal for evening dates and formal events but less suitable for the office or sports.

Silk Rites

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the smoky signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
