Which is the better pine or conifer/incense scent for those who've tried both?

I've been meaning to get a bottle of Hinoki for some time, but the only thing putting me off is the longevity. It's very fleeting.

How does Eau Sacree hold up? I have Cardinal from the line and love it.

Haven't tried the Heeley yet, but interested to hear what people have to say, a good piney incense is something I'm looking for myself. And just posted another thread about Heeley a minute before yours. Must be Heeley Sunday.

I personally don't get a ton of pine or incense from Hinoki, it really smells like the inside of a dry sauna to me.

thanks for the feedback. Others piney/incenses I have had for comparison are:

Zagorsk: I never liked this one. It never sat well with me for some reason. There was something discordant in it.

Encens Flamboyant: This is a very strong piney/incense but not as easy a wear.

And, yes I can definitely get the sauna from Hinoki.

Love Hinoki, one of the few scents in my collection that I'm very low on juice and will replenish before Winter; however, I have to say that Eau Sacree wins here. Just something about it, something that haunts me... if I wear it, I will wear it for at least 3 days in a row.
