Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vert d'Encens EDP
A truly unique green-amber scent that divides opinion but clearly captivates. It's either an addictive, mysterious forest floor dream or a cloying, messy confusion. Try before you buy, if you can even find it given its cult-favourite discontinued status.

Our Verdict - Pacific EDP
Rayhaan Pacific is a divisive one. For some, it's a budget-friendly, mass-appealing freshie that just hits right, especially after macerating. For others, it's a synthetic Invictus clone that quickly gets boring, with an unpleasant animalic amber drydown. Not for everyone, but worth a try for the price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vert d'Encens

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with its distinct, somewhat 'gothic' woody-amber character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its complex blend is highly appropriate for evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.

Pacific

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, clean, and sometimes 'laundry-like' scent profile makes it excellent for casual and sporty wear. While some find it too sweet or intense for the office, its moderate performance after an initial loud projection keeps it versatile enough for day-to-day use, just not for formal settings.
