Which Should You Buy?
Smoke by Perfumer H is a divisive one. Some find it a sublime, sophisticated incense masterpiece, while others are baffled by the lack of smoke despite the name, finding it bland and overpriced. It's not a blind buy, but if it hits right, it's a deep, rich experience.
Black Calamus is a serious, sophisticated scent for those who appreciate dark, complex fragrances. It's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely not a safe blind buy, as it polarises with its potent mix of unique notes, but for the right person, it's an addictive, magical experience.
