Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold Incense Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you. Many expect a strong incense hit, but Gold Incense offers a surprisingly fresh, clean, and quite feminine take on warm vanilla and florals. It’s certainly a crowd-pleaser, if not quite the edgy incense bomb some might hope for.

Our Verdict - XJ Decas Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a bubblegum masterpiece, others find it shockingly bad, cloying, or just plain old. You'll either love its sweet, resinous warmth with a citrus zing, or you'll be running for the hills. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
