The 3 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Messe de Minuit is softer and more amber-focused, with a dusty, cellar-like incense rather than the peppery, vetiver-dry smoke of Bois d'Encens.
Where it differs: Eau Trois is a very resinous myrrh incense, sweeter and more balsamic, without the cedar and vetiver dryness that keeps Bois d'Encens austere.
