Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper dark horse. Montblanc's 'Black Meisterstuck' has surprised many with its sophisticated, wearable incense take. It's a bit niche, a bit churchy at times, but beautifully blended for those who appreciate a mature, ambery depth without overwhelming everyone in the room.
Serge Lutens returns to form with La Nuit Tombée! It's a dark, smoky, and sophisticated woody incense, but be warned: some find the longevity a let-down.
