Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Oud Extreme Amber Extrait

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some find it a beautifully balanced, versatile amber-oud, while others are baffled by its supposedly terrible performance and overtly animalic nature. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.

Our Verdict - Sacreste Eau de Parfum

Sacreste is a divisive beast: an unapologetically 'churchy' incense, for some it's a nostalgic spiritual journey, for others, it's a flat, sour, or even synthetic mess that conjures images of burnt sofas. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.
