When applying from those little sample bottles don’t be stingy with this one. When I first tested it I got a nice sappy cedar and a salty leathery musk — the kind that just smells a little like a sweaty animal skin but cleaner. After looking at the notes I decided to revisit.
This time I applied generously and the labdum shown in all its smokey glory. The thuja is a nice contrast giving the fresh cut wood deep in the forest scent with a hint of a campfire. It is full of life and depth and lovely.

What an extraordinary frankincense bomb! It’s so intense I can barely make out the labdanum, tolu balsalm, wood notes or thuya. They charge at you with equal intensity. I have to wait quite a while before I can pick them out.
The thuya aromatic note is the first to soften and the labdanum can then peek out.
Extraordinary longevity and impressive sillage. Very unisex and lovely to wear in cold weather.

A dry, woody, herbal marvel this is the safest amongst the four offerings in the DEV series. The perfume is primarily a cedar driven affair (the smell of a hot dry sauna) and is mellowed only slightly with the addition of olibanum, thuja and labdanum. Unisex (slight masculine leaning) with moderate to strong sillage and very good longevity. Recommended for lovers of woody balsamic earthy scents. Enjoy!

People keep saying this smells a bit sour or bright and I think so too but I think its the Thuja/cypress and wood. Of the four in the series, I would say that this is the least “dark and mysterious”. Its way more rugged lumberjack with a touch of incense and way less Catholic church than the others. I’d say less spicy too as the notes show no spices.
Woody, resinous and a touch of smokey incense. Brighter and easier to wear for most.

This has been the perfume with the most siliage I have tried so far, it really radiates!
This smells amazing, very unique. I get a very sweet and smokey but also sour opening. Sourness fades into an almost gourmand sweet ylang ylang.
This reminds me of being in vietnam and getting a sugarcane juice on a dirty street filled with wood smoke and spices. Also ditect pink pepper and cotton candy underneath the smokey sweetness.
On drydown sweetness is stil pressent but mellows into a smokey spicy woody blast.

Best one of the series so far. Dry woods with sweet enveloping incense.

Wow! This is my favorite of the Dev series.. No, in fact it’s my favorite of the house!
Minimalistic yet complex, dark but not dense; it rivals even the luxurious V for Men by Clive Christian with extra spices and warmth.

If you have ever been in a dry sauna with the heat turned up, you will understand the woody scent of this one.
The woods remind you of sitting in a heated wooden sauna after a good swim in the pool.
Takes you back on vacation.
The incense smoke wafts gently around you while the gentle heat warms you up.
As stated, not a sweet fragrance. This makes me think towards the masculine side of things. What a great scent.
I wish it had better longevity & silage. The short distance of the silage makes me think natural oils were used, perhaps the scent molecules are heavier and only able to travel short distances.
The fragrance does last several hours but not as long as I thought it would.

This is the 1st that I have tried from the Dev series and I would say that it gives me hope. It’s well created and has that dark,heavy,thick mysterios vibe going for it. I have one issue with it, where is the sweetness? I have tried a few with tolu balsam and know that it’s a strong sweet note but the woody notes and olibanum overpower it here. This makes it very challenging to wear but a must try for deep incense/resinous lovers. I could see it being a replacement for fans of Norma Kamali Incense which is impossible to find.

In conclusion to the fiendish bunch of scents, we have Dev #4…A bone dry campfire ash fragrance with a Comme Des Garçon Avignon vibe. I would argue that this is the gateway drug to the other 3 devil scents. The Reprise offers nothing but the good vibrations of the 1960’s. In reality, this fragrance isn’t so simple but in comparison to the other Devil Scents, this is Scooby Snacks. Don’t dismiss this as a good incense fragrance on a budget. This runs circles around the most popular smokies in the industry.

Delightful! Smells exactly like you stepped into a new cedar closet to me. The woody fragrance is clean and invigorating. This lasts all day on my skin and when I woke up I could smell it on my pillow from spritzing my hair the day before. I love cedar, and this is the best I have found for my skin. Pure bliss!

So it’s a common review pitfall to find elements of either your favorite or most recently tried fragrances lurking within everything else. With that disclaimer, I am getting some serious Encens Chembur by Byredo in the drydown.
