Which Should You Buy?
Luxor is a challenging, divisive scent that demands patience. Its opening is often described as off-putting, even 'fecal', but those brave enough to push through are rewarded with a rich, complex dry-down. Definitely try before you buy, it's not for the faint of heart.
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.
