I love incense perfumes, and, unlike some reviewers below, adore Heeley and Avignon. This is so odd, my first and last reaction has been “BLECH!” It is bracing, astringent, woodsy-juniper for sure, with sharp herbal greens, the odd apple accord, and Cinnamon. To each his/her own, but this smells like bug spray with generous heapings of cinnamon. Basically, the bugs get a treat.
I think my skin must amplify cinnamon, and while I like it in general and in food, I don’t love it here, and would be interested in what this smells like without it and the apple… What I don’t smell is incense! Despite the listed ingredients that would indicate smokey-resin goodness, it just smells discordant.
Perhaps this would smell good on someone else, from a distance and also on a man. As a woman, I can’t swing this. It’s both a bit too masculine for me & weird (& I generally wear unisex perfumes).

Most Incense Fragrances go overboard and I’ve made a few blind buy mistakes, namely HEELEY’s Cardinal and Francis Kurkdjian’s Absolue Pour le Soir. Both I am willing to part with. They are very extreme and does not allow me to breathe as a human being.
Incensi is amongst my favourites, It is a classy, ethereal, boozy and very spiritual fragrance. Not that spirituality has a fragrance (I think) but I do associate it with the fragrance of Incense, Sandalwood, Earth, Amber, Flowers etc. which are part of the religious ceremonies in a temple.
What makes this one special is there is a Gin note here which sits side-by-side with the incense note. However there probably are about 6 notes behind these two notes which I have no clue of, and these in turn give value to the main notes.
Highly Recommended. Could be someone’s signature perfume.
May be one day, mine…

A quality scent with quality ingredients no doubt about that, but it didn’t wow me enough to buy a full bottle.
It just doesn’t have that bite or character that i like to have in my resinous/incense scents.
Basically a resinous woody slightly cinnamon-spicy scent that smells very natural…and that’s where it ends really.
The drydown is a faint predictable semi-sweet bright incense accord hovering very politely close to the skin.
For someone who is a hardcore resins/incense freak, this sits rightfully in the “deja vu” ordinary category.
But for someone who is looking to add along their Avignon bottle something more interesting, this would be a choice worthy of consideration.

Hehehe it’s funny myonlyvice, saying that a perfume it’s not wearable because it smells like incense it’s as clever as saying that a perfume it’ not wearable because it smells like perfume. Incense is at the base even of the word “perfume”, it’s the act of burning incense for it’s smell who create the word perfume, it’s is first signification-per fume (by the smoke).
It’s here a green-flowery resinous. I think there is even not incense, it’s more a re-construction of the note evolving to a mineral mimosa. It’s not cold, not church like at all, it’s really more spring like.
Really nice and pleasant.

The name is appropriate, it smells like Incense, not like a cologne. Not wearable.
