Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper Gothic drama in a bottle, polarising opinion with its intense, churchy incense. It's either an evocative, dark masterpiece or... well, just a bit much. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer something mainstream.
This is *the* reference for a pure Catholic church incense, bar none. It's divisive; some find it a meditative masterpiece, others a dusty, unwearable relic. Performance complaints are consistent, so be prepared to overspray or reapply.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong, often challenging opening and thematic depth, Lacrima isn't suited for daily office wear or casual settings, where it might overwhelm. It fares better in formal or date scenarios where its unique character can be appreciated, particularly for evening events in cooler weather, as its moderate projection requires a considered application.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its distinctive, churchy incense profile makes it a bold, unique choice, better suited for cooler weather and intimate or formal settings. Many reviews describe it as a 'personal' or 'meditative' scent, worn for oneself or for specific moods rather than daily public wear, especially given its variable projection.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Balsamic, Warm Spicy accords and Rosewood, Oakmoss notes
