Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive affair. Some find it a nice, warm winter scent, but a significant chunk of people can't get past a rubbery opening and poor longevity. Definitely not a blind buy.
Sacreste is a divisive beast: an unapologetically 'churchy' incense, for some it's a nostalgic spiritual journey, for others, it's a flat, sour, or even synthetic mess that conjures images of burnt sofas. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.
