Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 06 Incense Rose Eau de Parfum

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a fizzy, vibrant opening that gives way to a truly unique incense-rose blend. It's potent, artistic, and certainly not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted.

Our Verdict - Posh Alpha Eau de Parfum

A seriously divisive one, this. It's a dead ringer for a high-end niche scent, with some calling it a masterpiece of inky, dusty rose and incense. But for others, it's a 'crypt-like' horror show, far too challenging for everyday wear. Approach with caution and an open mind.

This is a heavy, long-lasting scent with significant projection, making it unsuitable for office wear. Its unique, somewhat challenging profile is best suited for formal events or evening dates where it can make a statement without overwhelming. Reviewers highlight its niche character, affirming its place in more deliberate, non-casual settings.
