Full Incense vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Full Incense is a competent incense fragrance that delivers authentic churchy scent notes, but the r/fragrance community feels it lacks originality compared to established competitors like Comme des Garçons incense line or James Heeley fragrances. While devoted Montale fans appreciate it, most consider it a decent option rather than a standout, especially given its discontinuation and limited availability.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
