New comparison

Is Smoke for the Soul better than Ganja Oud?

Smoke for the Soul and Ganja Oud both orbit the same cannabis-smoke axis, but that's where the paths split. Smoke for the Soul builds on birch, tobacco, and eucalyptus for a colder, more medicinal pyroligneous feel and lasts a full six to ten hours. Ganja Oud layers frankincense, saffron, and oud into something warmer and more resinous, though it fades after three to six hours. For staying power on skin, By Kilian takes this round.
