Royal Incense vs Grand Soir

Royal Incense by Omanluxury is recognized as a solid frankincense fragrance with pleasant sweet incense notes, but the community consensus indicates it skews too warm and balsamic compared to the brighter, more citrusy character of authentic Green Hojari frankincense. Other fragrances are considered closer matches for those seeking the true green frankincense experience.

Grand Soir is widely praised by the r/fragrance community as an exceptional niche fragrance with a strong opening that develops into a sophisticated amber-vanilla composition. The community strongly recommends sampling before purchasing (MFK offers 6 samples for €14) and notes that while it's not similar to Carlisle, it's a masterfully crafted scent with impressive longevity that many consider a collection essential.
