Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Papyrus Moleculaire Eau de Parfum

This is Santal 33's smoother, more refined sibling, or an uninspired clone, depending on who you ask. If you're after that woody, papery vibe without the pickle note, this might be your jam. Just don't expect it to last a lifetime.

Our Verdict - 05 Incense Extreme Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper divisive scent; folks either love its unique, dry incense profile or find it a bit too odd, like a 'wet stone in the sun' or even bug spray. It certainly challenges expectations of what an incense fragrance should be.

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its soft projection and clean, woody profile make it ideal for the office and casual wear. While pleasant for a date, some find its performance too subtle, and it lacks the gravitas for formal events. The subdued nature and lack of intense freshness make it less suitable for sport.

Also Works:

Date

Its unique, dry, and clean incense profile, coupled with a moderate sillage and often described as 'light' or 'subtle', makes it suitable for casual wear or even a daring date. However, its unusual character and sharp opening might be too polarising for conservative office settings or highly formal events. Most reviews highlight its refreshing nature and suitability for warmer weather, suggesting versatility for various everyday contexts.
