Damn it was killing me not knowing what the dry down reminded me of and finally it’s come to me TAUER DESERT MARROCAIN! I’m in deep adoration with Casbah
goshan – :
On me, Casbah opens nicely, but on later stages it creates a “plasticky powderiness” that I simply can’t tolerate. It might be the iris/orris root, which I’m not a fan of. If the slight “make-up bag note” doesn’t emerge on your skin (or doesn’t bother you), Casbah is definitely worth checking out. A refined incense; simultaneously heavy and airy. Not as straight-forward or literal as Avignon, Cardinal or Full Incense.
Farbek-G55 – :
A really interesting and fun Western interpretation of the smells of a middle eastern spice market, this nicely blended beauty will transport you to a faraway exotic land the moment it lands on your skin. The perfume opens with spicy notes of nutmeg, pepper and angelica and proceeds to a dense incense laden heart that stays throughout the stay of the perfume. In addition to the incense, the heart contains notes of tobacco and orris. As the perfume dries down one can detect hints of vetiver and cedar giving it a woody powdery ambience. This is a unisex perfume, with moderate to strong sillage and very good longevity. Very reverent and exotic, if somewhat predictable. Enjoy!
noodle_ – :
I had been on a quest to find the ideal incense scent for me and… I think I have found it, in Casbah. Casbah has the perfect balance of earthiness, tobacco and of course incense.
The opening of this fragrance hits you with a good dose of nutmeg and pepper setting this spicy damp tone to fully accentuate the incense. Once the mid notes kick in the tobacco and incense lift this perfume to the heights of vaulted ceilings (Casbah’s incense smells like a real church incense). The scent is rounded out with a rich vetiver and cedar combo that keeps the scent of incense crisp and long lasting. This is a classy fragrance that works well on either sex. Casbah is perfect for fall and winter. This is a going out scent that needs cold air to play to it’s full strength (think fall/winter nights). Casbah is well blended and crafted and is very long lasting.
Casbah ticks all the boxes for me and I cannot recommend it enough, full bottle worthy! Give Casbah a few sprays on a crisp cool night when you feel contemplative or you wish to coolly or modestly give off an inkling of mystery or sophistication.
pretpank – :
What everyone wrote about Casbah is true, it is all that exactly. It is woody and earthy, uniquely Piguet too. According to Joe Casbah the president of Robert Piguet Parfum back in 2012 interview, Casbah contains 27 type of incense and Casbah took the longest to develop out of the 5 nouvelle collection, inspired by the Moroccan bazaar and burning tobacco.
There’s nothing floral in it, I must agree that this is not for everyone, but it could be addictive. Currently I am wearing this on my right arm, and I have baghari on my left. I am in love ♥️.
LiarceRisefes – :
I do like incense based scents and have quite a few, sadly though I just can’t get on with this one. I’m guessing it’s the angelica which disagrees with me(?) It overrides all other notes too much and turns this into a herb dominant fragrance not an incense one. It lasts for many hours and is quite linear so I can see that if this sits well on your skin it would be very agreeable.
dj6off – :
What an unbelievably beautiful scent! This is pure catholic church, pure myrrh and incense and no bullshit. I tried/had all relatives of this one: CdG Avingnon, Heeley Cardinal and Montale Full Incense. I think Casbah is the most simple herbal smoky church you can get. Avignon is almost the same but Avignon carries the CdG dna. Cardinal might be more wearable to wider public and Montale is way to rosy way too sweet and synthetic. In my opinion Avingnon, Cardinal and Casbah are very similar to each other and Montale the least of all them. Enjoy this beauty!
maksyaka13 – :
Ohh, how unfair judge I was first for this beauty..! It might be bothering at first accords but then it evolves to linear pleasent, addictive smell like a fresh cut fir tree along with needles and hot resin with aditional greens . I kept smelling my hand at work, giving me waves of calming pleasure that could reset your internal clock (to a lower frequency)..
Overall: 9/10
koldam – :
Hated it at first sniff — acrid, dry lovage smell.
Tried again after a month and liked it — some warmth and a few round edges to be found.
Wore it to work and loved it — puts me in a focused mood.
Full-bottle-worthy precious weird beauty.
My colleague loves it and calls it “the citrus one.”
The most unique scent I own.
svs20959 – :
Originally the qasba (Arabic: قصبة, Qaṣba, vulgarized in casba or kasbah (from the Arabic qaṣaba, “citadel”, “fortress”), was a construction (usually fortress or citadel) of an Arab city. Distant and mystical atmospheres, religious rites and Arabian traditions Intense and warm, these notes are perfect for traveling the mind in the East, the incense here is as strong as the name of the perfume, dominating like in a cathedral on a sultry day summer, that quiet, that refreshment given by the coolness of the interior, is emphasized by the angelica, black pepper and cypress as the liturgical images that are the background, infusing that shiver, that anguish typical of the churches of Rome.
riv-manu – :
One of the best incense perfumes out there, smells really authentic , high quality incense like in a lot of top notch incense fragrances with a slight touch of gentleness and sweetness which makes it more appealing, highly recommended
spirtspirt – :
I bought casbah, I tested it for a couple of weeks, it’s not exactly what I was looking for but it comes a little closer, the smell is very natural and of very high quality, I do not think there is real incense but the mixture of notes and spices and herbs with a touch of smoke from a feeling of incense used in the Catholic church but not 100% feel particularly strong nutmeg and angelica. it is not bitter or so green as it is described almost by everyone for me it is a little green and a bit amber … it is sweet enough not dry, when it dries out it smells stronger as a church incensor! now I want to try montale and avignon, I hope they are not the same thing as casbah just to not double the purchase! in the whole casbah is a wonderful scent!
fullvideohentai – :
can anyone here tell me if it is similar to full incense of montale? what is the best as an odor? could someone tell me the differences between the two?
sashapid – :
It’s not like a funeral. It’s not like a church. It’s not melancholic.
To me it’s sweet and warm and enchanting.
Specially after couple hours.
At first I thought “Oh No. Frankincense punch in the face! This is gonna be like that Armani prive I couldn’t wear Bois d’encens”.
But then it gets sweeter and mellower.
And I love it.
It’s like you meet an uptight person you think oh no! We can’t get along! Then discover slowly they’re warm and sweet and quite unique.
It’s clear, calm, and kind. Just like I wish I could be.
It is wearable day and night, it’s winter time now, haven’t tried summer yet.
I feel it is creamy incense. Not too masculine or edgy.
The musk takes off the edge I think. On me it gets more musky as time passes but the incense doesn’t go away either.
I think this will be my go to perfume.
marlok – :
Casbah is really mostly about incense and green notes (vetiver and angelica?) on me. The incense is quite soapy/clean and transparent, it reminds me of a light rain in semi-cold temperatures (in Germany), in a good way! Relaxing, delicate, elegant, very pleasant. It doesn’t shout “I’m a walking church”, it is not in-your-face, though yes it is a very good church incense – I generally hate church incense in churches, you know, but in perfumes it is much lighter and airy.
Not sweet, I could feel a bitter taste in the back of my throat as I smelled it, but not as bitter as I thought.
Definitely unisex, but more on the feminine side imo.
Projection is moderate on me, and it is long lasting.
JeockCakcow – :
This fragrance immediately transports you to an Orthodox church. The incense is 100% realistic! A few minutes later, the scent becomes a bit warmer and slightly sweet. There is also a vegetal nuance and soft spices. None of these stands out, instead, they create well-balanced integrity. To me this is not really a perfume, but a smell that creates an ambiance around you. I have tested it in cold weather, and that is when the incense is the main player. If you want to experience the warm nuances of the fragrance, you should give it a try in another season or at home.
niksff2z – :
Casbah doesn’t smell like CDG Avigon which badly imitates the Roman Catholic liturgical incense called Pontificate(black and gold granulated incense burned in charcoal discs) Avignon smells also more like a room fragrance,there is no really deep or complexity,Avignon is so boring. The closest to Casbah is Montale’s masterpiece Full Incense.Casbah screams incense all over from the first spray; is very resinous pine, elemi, frankincense, dry, smoky, spicy ,half moon desert solitude. Long lasting,great projection, beautifully blended.Packing and bottle are dreadful,please Robert Piguet change it! cheap plastic cap and thin breakable black glass bottles are an insult to your costumers,we want magic to complement your nice perfumes,we want to hold a beautiful bottle that equals your mysterious potions. For the price you charge us you could give us a more original and crafted product.
serjik230985 – :
starts out a strong just-right sweetness church incense with that cola myrrh note; wish it had stayed in the top to be a love, it’s a myrrh-centric frag in the middle and more of a skin scent than most incense are; in the base, it gets a bit herbal and bitter; not a fan. goes from love to like to okay for me
asurendra – :
Dominated by the very green and herby angelica root (similar to the wormwood in Memoir Man); as an incense fan I’m disappointed.
edelshtain – :
I tested this beauty a few days ago and can’t stop thinking about it! The SA saw me so enamored she sprayed some in a decant for me to bring home 😀
A perfect incense, strong and unapologetic, with great sillage and longevity: I could still smell it after 12 hours at least.
I’ll definitely buy it in 2018 and I think it’s a 100% safe blind buy for anyone who loves incense and Oriental perfumes.
Pollkrop – :
I had a tester of this (red and white label) and I sold it because it was too potent at the time and smelled of weed but it smelled great but then it made me concious that people would think I am a pot head. A few years down the line I couldn’t get it out of my memory and purchased a bottle.
The label had changed to a red/black. Sadly, I didn’t get the incense and all I got was green angelica and vetiver which turned my stomach so I had to get rid of it.
I received my bottle today and lo and behold, it is exactly like the one above in the picture! The tester was still a bit stronger as I clearly remember but this is the same glorious juice I had encountered so many years ago. The incense kick in it makes it bearable and somewhat smoky.
It is quite green but very much wearable and there’s a certain refreshing quality about it which I find very irresistible, different and welcoming. I feel I have reset my nose and re-engaged with nature.
njg997speagoessenda – :
This is nowhere remotely close to Avignon.
Avignon has a thick Chamomile/Vanilla sweet layer. Casbah doesn’t have a slightest hint of sweetness, unless you consider green being sweet.
I can understand the similarities between Full Incense and Avignon, but this? ummm….No.
VRaqoxnP – :
This is not very far from Avignon, but the pepper makes it more fresh. Nutmeg is less noticeable than pepper, but it is clearly present. The scent smells green to me and i find something similar to Memoir due to the green character of the scent. I cannot detect the cedar that is present in Avignon. In general, I would say that I prefer this to Avignon and is one the best incenses that I have ever smelt, and I have a lot of incenses on my collection.
IIomudop – :
On me the longevity is wonderful. I work 12+ hour days and can still smell this wafting lightly by the end. The sillage and projection on me are not as room filling as for others apparently tho, which is fine cuz I’ve been using it for work. As a work scent I really like it. Early on it has a Nag Champa kind of smell. It’s very dry, the main scents I can get are the cedar and angelica after the initial Nag Champa smell. Not a cedar bomb but nicely blended with the angelica and incense. After a couple hours on me the incense and cedar fade and vetiver is the star here. My gf knows vetiver in and out and after wearing this for several hours I asked if she liked the new one, she said it’s that vetiver one again but it smells less old school somehow, referring to Guerlain vetiver. Side by side she’d not say that, but I can see where she got it. My skin holds and projects vetiver in anything it’s in like a champ, and typically she’ll tell me it’s nice but has an old school, clean grandpa smell. Which is nice, but not what I’m going for. This one however, altho the vetiver came through, was declared not old school. Just clean and smooth vetiver and I think the angelica had given it enough bump to be more modern. She also declared it did not invigorate her ‘romantically’ either, just that it was clean and more modern. She’s a Boulder Colorado loving hippie country girl so incense should have been right up her alley for some romance but it doesn’t sit like that, so for work it’s a nice clean non-soapy vetiver with a more modern twist and for the first couple hours a dash of incense. Atypical of the area I live in and non-offensive, no compliments as of yet for the couple weeks of wear but not being told I can’t wear it to work either. Longevity forever, projection heavy for a couple hours at most then sits nice and wafty close the rest of the time. I kinda love it. Gonna look for something a little more creamy, less dry, to invigorate some cold night incense driven romance but for work and such this is really really nice.
mrjudge – :
It took me ages before buying. I started this passion on fragrances looking for something that I always liked: Incense. Went through La Liturgie, V by Clive Christian, Samharam, Epic… and this one, at last. I have tried it many times and eventually bought a full bottle.
Incense lovers will definitely like it but incense is not overruling other main players such as spices and Angelica, the former making it dry and warming it up, the latter making it green and fresh. As a result you have a very well balanced perfume that takes you to a journey where either incense or the other characters play the scene .
Be careful with sprays as projection and silllage are strong. This easily fills a room. Longevity is outstanding, too, more than 12 hours.
Enjoy this

I really can’t remember the last time I was so cristal clear about what I smell, and so iritatingly devided about how I feel about it. Usually, it’s the other way around.
I like it.
I so dislike it.
I’d like to wear t-h-a-t incense.
I so would not like to wear the rest.
The incense is so incredibly real, maybe the best, thickest, dark, heavy, swirling and nostrls-biting incense I’ve ever smelled – oh, god, if it was only for that incence this would be love, a hudge one and FB buy immediately.
But.
I cant’t live with this odd anjelica-nuttmeg accord, my body chemistry amplified its sweetness and greeness to the point that I don’t want to wear this, and, actually, I really can’t.
I so wish Casbah was drier. Much, much drier…
This is great egzample of the scent that, for me, equally belongs to “love” and “dislike” shelf.
Such a pitty.
But this is in range the of some best incenses ever: Avignon, Montale’s Full Incense, Jovoy’s Lithurgie…
So, every incense lover must try this. Big recomendation.
Big.
And then again, such a pitty…
* like/dislike (I really don’t know…)
* silage: big
* longetivity: easily 12 hours.
* weather/season/day: Definitly cold weather. Day at night. Casual to formal.
stastrust – :
Cool, dry, classy incense – much, much lighter on the spices and honey/sweet notes than I was expecting, but none the worse for that. In the same ballpark as Comme des Garcons Kyoto, for instance, but a little more aloof and less rounded than that or the other CDG incense series; its other end drifts towards L’Artisan Dzonghkha territory, but with much less smoke and none of the “dusty old books” smell of Dzonghkha. It absolutely isn’t as warm or sweet or delicious as Tauer Air du Desert Marocain: they are two completely different routes towards the same ‘destination’ of a delicious North African/Arab market smell.
It’s a particularly woody joss-stick sort of incense – nothing cloying, there are no sickly notes of fake-jasmine or fake-floral anything – but it may not be to everyone’s taste. There’s some definite angelica greennness in there too, a note of something almost green-grassy. I breathed a sigh of relief on trying my discounted blind-buy FB that it really did work for me, but skin chemistry *might* make this go rank on some and if you’re ambivalent about incense you should certainly try out on skin before committing to this one.
Projection’s not huge, but it does waft about a bit (and got me some spontaneous compliments); longevity is ASTONISHING, lasting full day as skin scent even beyond (like into next morning) on textiles. So if you want a good-value, distinctive, high-class incense, consider giving this one a chance.
To my mind Casbah is absolutely unisex, but some may find it too butch; it’s not really one to wear with a floaty girly dress, for sure – though it could definitely set off something drop-dead sexy, on any gender.
kkl034bedyWelty – :
Strong (non-sweet) incense & smoked wood WONDER.
This was a blind buy because I LOVE the Piguet brand. This is a liner incense & smokey wood combo that is perfect for you’re “non floral” days — when you just want something “different”.
More for men but women “who dare” may like it.
Sillage & Longevity are excellent.
I’m looking forward to LAYERING with this work of art.
geo007ioy – :
I am in AWE.
I received my bottle and sprayed some on my wrist. I thought: “meh” and went on with my things. I would go back every 20 minutes and it got better but I still thought I had made a mistake by blind buying.
HOWEVER, when I went back to it feeling disappointed, I decided to spray twice under my tshirt (close to my neck) so that I could get whiffs every time I would move and… OH LORD OF THE PERFUMES, I got bewitched. For hours and hours this scent exuded the best of several realms:
On one hand the key to its wonderful aroma is the strong angelica note supported by classy incense and something nutty or ambery I cannot put my fingers on. It is the same angelica we find in say French Lover but here it is long lasting and stronger and the mix with warm counterparts makes it stand out in a glorious way. People here mention nutmeg and spices and they are definitely there but all the time in a supporting role, not letting the angelica go bitter…very well managed. Don’t expect a spice bomb, everything is handled in a classy way.
This is GREEN to me in a warm way as opposed to general green fresh and it works so well… it lasts for hours and hours with the incense getting more prominent until the angelica gets subtler and a gorgeous drydown of tobacco and something very earthy make it for a grand finale. I am truly shocked I found it dull on my wrist. Please folks give it a proper wearing as I did.
This is a wonderful incense, 100% unisex, very different in its development from my beloved Avignon (Casbah is greener, warmer and exotic… nothing churchy here nor formal) and definitely SEXIER than all the incenses I have sampled. The warm/cold interplay I’ve mentioned is sublime, it is easy to wear and so well blended…
Gorgeous!!
Grigoriy24 – :
Casbah is one of the finest incense scents I’ve tried. It’s all church incense meets spice bazaar, with plenty of black pepper and herbal angelica. The cedar base adds a dry woodiness. Longevity and sillage are monstrous. This is a must-try for incense aficionados.
I’m waiting to try CdG’s Avignon, but until then, this is a serious contender for a full bottle.
jessbazy – :
Received as an additional sample. It was nice from the provider to add it to my order; however, it had nothing in common with the scents I had ordered.
This scent is nothing but incense. I feel like being unexpectedly bedewed by a priest during a mess in the catholic church. Terrible sensation. I can imagine people loving incense that they would be amazed with Casbah – especially with its being just the incense and nothing more – but I personally dislike it at all.
Last but not least: beware of its sillage and longetivity – just one scoosh is more than enough, and if you dislike it you would need to wash your entire clothing. I know I should consider it as an advantage – and it would be one for incense lovers.
Spec1717 – :

croneyzer – :
The best incense around. Lasts more then 24 hrs and is much more then ‘incense’.
igor3250n – :
Angelic(a)?
Odd, it’s weird how some scents come across…….was it my mood, nose, skin chemistry that night?
The first time I tried Casbah was after spraying it with the nozzle close to my skin.
I was turned off because before I fell asleep all I detected was a dark smokiness. It took over a week before I tried again but applied a mist and more over my body then walked out into the cool and breezy late afternoon.
Wow, so much better this time, I am not familiar with Angelica root but if it’s that sweet scent that is intertwined with incense then I really love it.
Great projection and still going strong after 5 and one half hours.
Great unisex I believe, the incense here is definitely house of worship strength so that might turn off some ladies but Angelica root tames the beast.
Good name for this product, my first Piguet purchase, setting the bar rather high for the rest of the line.
kupmap86 – :
GORGE. Off the top of my head this is v similar to Avignon (which I love) but drier. Eventually (4hrs later) what is left is no more than clean cedar.
zgt515speagoessenda – :
It’s my first time that I’m wearing this perfume and I can say that it is a nice fragrance. A balsamic and woody- spicy one with fantastic longevity and projection. I like to wear it in cold seasons rather than Summer. I think I keep it until Fall and then I will start wearing it and then I can tell my opinion more accurate. All in all I can smell Pepper, Cedar, Vetiver and Tobacco the most.
464 – :
Casbah starts very spicy detected from the beginning the effect of pepper accompanied by the note of angelica and attached to a background of incense (my favorite part) .Podría here seem heavy, but not is an entry that gives off a light and exquisite aura completely away (which pleased me) effect: inside cathedral, with which I always associate floor with incense as a fragrance dominant note.
According evolves it becomes drier and smoked, perhaps due to the effect of atalcado iris attached to snuff engulfing casbah under a very exotic aura and get transport me to a quiet, meditative place like the inside of a full marble columns Arab house, horseshoe arches, carved wooden paneling and fine carpets colorful looking at a clear blue sky.
The balsamic and very durable drying softens and tempers the incense with the warmth of a loving hug goodbye invites back again to apply yourself to feel this beautiful fragrance.

Longevity – I get 8hrs consistently.
valerrra – :
Casbah is exhilarating! Innocent purity and hot desire entwined! It arouses fantasies that were dormant before you breathed in visions of infinite temptation. It is austere, yet seductive. Soothing, yet evocative.
This combination of an ascetic incense with a natural cedar accord is transcendent. Flawless incense like smoke from heaven. But, it is a warm smoke, perfumed embers smoldering on silver braziers. Then, with a cedar bridge, angelica and spices mix in an arousing blend of earthly enticement. All together their antithesis creates a powerful reaction, greater than the sum of their parts.
It is tantalizing, and Aurelien Guichard’s most inspired composition. It avoids the undiluted astringence of Kamali’s Incense, the spruceness of Lutens’ L’Orpheline, and the church overtones of Heeley’s Cardinal.
Instead, Casbah is the smell equivalent of the physical sensation of falling in love. Or, at least in lust!
aist-alex – :
Really like entering a church. Very dry and woody, very incenced. Powerful nutmeg all the way. It can be a bit intimidating. But just wait for the dry down and vetiver to appear, that is when the perfume really tells you who it is. And you will love it.
sas946speagoessenda – :
Pure incense…. when you spray, it seems to enter a cathedral. Longevity is simply extraordinay.
krizis – :
one of the best perfumes incensed ever made together in Avignon.
10 10 I have no other words before such masterpieces !!!
rus1111.rustam – :
The biggest reason of the purchase was that one of the notes is angelica. I love angelica so much that I dub the thick amber essential oil on my skin to satisfy the craving.
The first time I sprayed Casbah on me, I regretted the purchase. I was overwhelmed by heavy black pepper scent. It made me even cough and felt it triggered my asthma sympton. So I did put the bottle away.
A few months later, I gave it another try.
Black pepper hit me again but it was more than that. The warm ĉozy incense,tabacco, and spice.
I have a habit of applyīng fregrance over the skin where my heart beats. As Casbah transform the scent, the note climb to my nose.At the end creamy,dusty,smoky scent stays with me for the wrong time. The scent remained on my sweater the day after wearing Casbah is so gentle and melancholic. It comforts me.Maybe I am so used to smell the straight angelica oil,I cannot get enough angelica from Casbah so I still use the oil along with Casbah.
Does anybody suggest good fragrance with angelica?
Mesvh428InsuffBooni – :
Wow, what a pleasant surprise – a refined, minimalistic Christmas (for a change!).
I have no idea why it had to be named Casbah, but all I am visualizing is a cold, elegant incense flanked by angelica and woody notes. The pepper and spices are left in the background not to disturb this perfect medieval austerity.
Lovely!
roma09.77 – :
Rock the Casbah indeed!I love incense fragrances and this is no exception.I find this a very wearable scent that will announce your arrival if oversprayed 🙂 It does tone down though and I got the tobacco and a lovely dusty aroma.The longevity is fabulous and after a few hours wear this scent is still evolving on my skin, I’m getting a woody vibe going on now.Beautiful!
frankinshteyn27 – :
love this chamaleon, in my skin it climbs from an incense start,oriental and powerful although nothing new to a wonderful citric beat mixed up with the oriental touch,magical and good lasting,unique
Samsaed – :
I love incense and oriental perfumes. I can’t believe that all of the times I’ve asked for incense frag recs this never once came up – it’s hands down the best incense perfume I’ve experienced. (Note :I haven’t ever tried Norma Kamali and given my age and it’s rarity it seems unlikely that I will before I shuffle off this mortal coil) It’s beautiful. I don’t find it exclusively male – I’m female and feel great wearing it. It’s longevity is amazing for a modern perfume. Sillage is moderate – but radiance is awesome. This will waft up to you all day off and on. I’m sure many would consider it a winter scent but it positively blooms with heat for me – it seems to thrive in high temperatures.
I don’t buy many full bottles these days – but I’ll be buying Casbah as soon as this decant is gone.
Teremyday – :
It definitely exhudes a manly olfactive signature.
Reminds me the Rocabar by Hermes vibe, with slighlty different notes and approach in terms of geolocalisation, if this means something.
This was a blind buy for me, and it confirmed what i expected after those reviews and notes listed.
Very happy because i didn’t own such a fragrance in my collection, it’s very unique for me.
Longevity and sillage are great too, wich is a good thing. It is much powerfull than CDG Avignon for example, which is shockingly faint to me. Here you have something good but that lasts too.
Overall… 8/10

Casbah è un verde un po’ piccante, erboso, aromatico e appena fumoso, Sviluppa vari tipi di incenso sulla pelle e lo trovo piu maschile, cioè lo vedo meglio su un uomo.
A giorni è molto intenso e si insinua, altri resta in sottofondo senza rumore.
Pepato,erbaceo,pungente e freddo,anche se non riesco a distinguere gran parte delle note elencate.

“Casbah” will be a winner for every incense lover out there – smoky, masculine, aromatic, full of power and depth. And the staying power – over 12 hours!! Excellent scent from Robert Piguet – worth a try and the money.
free.vitiok – :
wonderful. not as dense or heavy for me as others have described. the potency is there, but only in the way you would rightly expect from an EDP level concentration. i think because the overall feeling is so “fresh” cool even as mentioned earlier. “incense” seems like an overly broad catagory but specifically loads of frankincense here and sweet green herbal anjelica so if those dont float your boat dont even show up. maybe a little myrhh or benzoin? the review below nails it when mentioning himalaya, ive never smelled that incense before, but the name feels very apt. in fact this everything i expected and wanted from Dzngkha, which ended up being strange and somehow sad like timbuktu, both duchofour creations
toolmakerr – :
Is a wow incenses perfume. remember more a Gothic Church then Marrakech, but i love it. Very classic, very hard to find a similar notes.
I think only is to expensive, Euro 168,00 it’s to much when you can have Cardina or Full Incense for Euro 110,00

Z.E.R.O – :
The best incense perfume ever made.
The incense in this beauty “compresses” the entire composition just like a musical effect an audio engineer uses on a track to keep it as loud as possible without crossing the 0 db and eventually hurting the listener’s ear. It’s perfectly balanced and compressed to the max.
The fumigating incense is present from start to finish, joined by slight hints of black pepper in the beginning until the lovely angelica join in to give the smell a much needed bright slightly colorful lift while keeping the woody undertones present.
I feel that there is something in this composition that is waiting to blossom: Something earthy, “alive”, ripe and addictive that seems to be constantly “moving” along the incense throughout the development. I know the nutmeg can create such effect but i’m sure there is also something else added as an “extra”.
Brillant.
A must
