Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, this is the Mother of all Patchoulis - a beast mode performer that's unapologetically bold. It demands attention, with some finding it a revelation and others, a challenge. Definitely not quiet luxury.
An enigmatic blend of smoke and resins, Smoke of the Soul is perfect for those who enjoy complex and mysterious fragrances.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This perfume is a monster in longevity and sillage, making it too overwhelming for polite office wear. Its rich, dark, and sensual character, combined with its opulent performance, makes it perfect for dates and evening formal events, though perhaps a bit much for everyday casual wear.
Seasons
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
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.
