Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lavs Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive affair, a 'love it or hate it' church incense that screams solemnity and ancient spirituality. Many love its photorealistic, cold incense vibe, while others find it too sharply medicinal or even plasticky.

Our Verdict - Scandinavian Crime Extrait
This is a seriously hyped-up, dark Christmas concoction that's either a "true love" or a bit of a meh let-down, depending on your skin chemistry and incense sensibilities. If you want to smell like a sophisticated Christmas Eve service in a bottle, this is your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lavs Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal

Its distinctive, heavy incense profile, often likened to religious ceremonies, makes it unsuitable for casual or office wear. However, its bold and unique character is perfect for formal events or niche gatherings where it can truly make a statement.

Scandinavian Crime Extrait

Seasons

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The strong, warm spicy, and amber accords, combined with its described intensity and Christmas-like feel, make it too prominent for an office setting. It's perfectly suited for cooler evening dates and formal events where its luxurious, bold character can truly shine.
