Fume vs Bois d'Ascese

The r/fragrance community holds positive views of this fragrance as a solid entry in the coniferous category, praised for its balanced sappy pine character and strong performance. While some find it discontinued or expensive, those who own it appreciate its versatility and accessibility for newcomers to the pine fragrance genre.

Bois d'Ascese is well-regarded within the niche fragrance community as a sophisticated smoky fragrance with excellent performance and longevity. However, it leans more toward incense and resinous notes than pure smoke, and as an avant-garde scent, it's best worn for personal enjoyment rather than broad social appeal.
