Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Encens Suave EDP
This is a seriously polarising incense, so don't blind buy. For some, it's a sweet, comforting church-like dream; for others, it's a headache-inducing synthetic mess or just too much syrupy vanilla. It's a statement, not a safe bet.

Our Verdict - Spicy Java EDP
Perfume Parlour's Spicy Java chases Xerjoff Golden Dallah - the roasted-coffee-and-spice opening over rose, oud and incense with a nutty tonka base is recognisable, but this dupe flattens the luxurious, evolving complexity and strong projection of the niche original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Encens Suave

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beastly projection and long-lasting nature, Encens Suave is too strong for office wear. Its sensual, warm, and luxurious character makes it perfect for date nights and formal occasions, but it's generally too heavy for casual settings.

Spicy Java

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The roasted coffee, warm spices and nutty tonka-cacao base are made for cold autumn and winter wear and overwhelm in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Bold, warm and gourmand - tailored to evenings, dates and dressed-up occasions; too rich and spicy for sport or daytime office.
