Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Or Encens Eau de Parfum

A masterful smoky-incense and leather fragrance with a golden, mysterious warmth. Or Encens is for those who want gravitas and sophistication, not mass appeal. It commands attention with its complexity and depth.

Statement

Our Verdict - Chambre Noire Eau de Parfum

Chambre Noire is a polarising, moody leather, a unique blend that many adore for its dark sweetness, though some find it a touch synthetic or too much like a stuffy old room. It's not for everyone, but for those who get it, it's addictive.

The dense incense, amber, leather, and smoky woods make this an ideal choice for fall and winter, radiating warmth and richness in cool weather. Its power and spice may be too much for summer but work for cool spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

This bold, resinous scent is best for formal, evening, or date settings where its smoky richness shines. It's too commanding and dense for office or sports but can work for casual nights out.

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate projection and intimate, dark character make it ideal for date nights or evenings out where you want to leave a subtle, intriguing impression. While some find it suitable for casual wear, its richness and depth might be too much for a formal office setting. It's definitively a cold weather evening scent.
