Our Verdict - Reve d'Ossian Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a proper church service in a bottle. This is a divisive one - some find it absolutely divine, a true masterpiece of atmospheric incense. Others reckon it's nothing short of nauseating. You'll either love or loathe its strong, unyielding character.

Sahara Noir's intense, long-lasting incense and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office or casual wear. Its regal and mysterious character is best reserved for formal events or intimate date nights, where its full depth can be appreciated.

Also Works:

Date

Its potent projection and unique 'churchy' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, though some find it acceptable in smaller doses. It's an excellent choice for a formal event or a chilly date night where its warmth and depth can truly shine, but too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.
