Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Reve d'Ossian Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a proper church service in a bottle. This is a divisive one - some find it absolutely divine, a true masterpiece of atmospheric incense. Others reckon it's nothing short of nauseating. You'll either love or loathe its strong, unyielding character.

Our Verdict - Smoke of Desert Eau de Parfum

Divisive, but with a dedicated fanbase, Simone Andreoli's Smoke of Desert opens with an intoxicating smoky incense that, for some, dries down to a less complex woody leather. It's a statement scent, loved for its magnetic presence and unique take on incense.

Season and Occasion Fit

Reve d'Ossian Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its potent projection and unique 'churchy' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, though some find it acceptable in smaller doses. It's an excellent choice for a formal event or a chilly date night where its warmth and depth can truly shine, but too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold, smoky, and resinous accords, alongside reports of strong performance, make it too prominent for most office settings, though a light hand could make it work. It truly shines as a 'night moves' or date scent due to its magnetic and intimate character. The scent's warmth and unique profile also lend themselves well to formal events, but it's far too heavy and complex for anything sporty.
