Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sancti EDP
This one's proper divisive, isn't it? If you're after a bright, citrus-spiked incense that whispers rather than shouts, Sancti is a masterful, if fleeting, liturgical experience. But if you demand beast-mode projection and longevity, you'll be left feeling short-changed.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Vert d'Encens EDP
A truly unique green-amber scent that divides opinion but clearly captivates. It's either an addictive, mysterious forest floor dream or a cloying, messy confusion. Try before you buy, if you can even find it given its cult-favourite discontinued status.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sancti

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and light, fresh character make it ideal for office and casual wear, where it won't overpower. While suitable for dates, it might lack the 'oomph' some desire, and its lightness makes it less fitting for formal evening events. The refreshing citrus and aromatic elements with subtle projection also make it a decent choice for light activity.

Vert d'Encens

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with its distinct, somewhat 'gothic' woody-amber character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its complex blend is highly appropriate for evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.
