What a shame… this achingly lovely composition could be nicknamed after a Nicolas Cage movie: “Gone in 60 Seconds.”

What is this and why am I not permanently surrounded by a cloud of it? Ah yes, the awe-inspiring price tag.
Here I am, a lost traveller looking for my signature scent. I’ve ventured in all four directions and only now, coming home to Ex Voto, do I realise that I’ve been looking in all the wrong places.
Now I’ve found it, and actually, for now I just can’t have it. Torture!! But the best smelling torture I can imagine. From the beginning, this hhas given me the excuse to sit quietly and smell myself constantly thru the day and into the evening. I don’t want to miss a moment. My family is worried about me…
I’m not sure I have the vocab to explain this, but suffice to say the experience is the elegant, ethereal druggy love that I’ve been searching for. It’s not alcohol-ish nor soapy and so far it’s very minimal powder. It is perfect frankincense, blended artfully but it is that most sacred incense that permeates for me, however, friends haven’t been able to identify what the glorious smell actually is. It is far more sohisticated than I am, and I may sell one of the children in order to buy a bottle. When that runs out I’ll sell the other one. I would wear this every day if I could. Nothing else I’ve ever smelled comes even slightly close. Nothing.
The initial whoosh of flight is pepper that quickly levels out into something warm and exciting but understated enough to be furtively sneaking a nose-ful whenever I can. It makes me feel amazing. I want to identify with it. This is pure art. I will never understand why we have a world of Kim Kardashian and David Beckham fragrances when we could all smell so damned refined! Ah, I almost wish I’d never found this so I wouldn’t know what I was missing.

This would be a great scent if it didn’t have the nutmeg component. Nonetheless, the abundance of nutmeg note makes it somewhat smell like food. Still a good product, though.

Completely beguiling tinder-dry incense with a fiercely outdoorsy natural feel. Huge, delicious blast of pepper at the start, redolent of herbs as well as spices … is it possible for a perfume to smell like sand-blasted twigs? Only the most luxurious, evocative, dry-as-dust sand-blasted twigs that ever grew on any planet, imbued with magical resin and sandalwood sweetness.
Can’t begin to describe how much I love this – thank you so much to the generous UK Fragrantician EnglishCountryGarden who shared it with me. I’ll be another seductee, stalking the internet for all time, seeking out any chance to buy this at any discount. Without wanting to be blasphemous: even for an atheist like myself, it really *does* seem possible that heaven smells like this.

A very interesting fragrance. I am very grateful to a fellow Fragranticans generosity in sending me a sample. This is a very refined, restrained, smooth incense fragrance. I like the herbal, fresh aspect that comes from the chamomile and clover. A sort of East meets West. Its Europe dabbling very tentatively with the foreign notes of nutmeg and incense.
I like it but no more than that. Ive said an incense fragrance but really its a perfect 50/50 split with soft herbal aromatics. There is little sweetness or warmth. Very much unisex.
Poor sillage and very average longevity which is quite a surprise when olibanum is supposed to be in here.

Wow! A very kind and generous “enabler/pusher” gifted me a little sample of this, and I have to say, it’s become a bit of an obsession. I google it, trace it, gaze and the prohibitive (for now) price tag, then skulk off into a corner and weep softly whilst considering a spot of light self harm to deal with the pain. It’s one of the finest dry incense fragrances known to humankind. Prayers are made of this. I adore the balance of resins, and the unexpected holy drift of pure chamomile, which is such a soporific fragrance, it can only be described as transcendent when floated with the superb woods, gentle herbs and resins worthy of a Magi gift which this masterpiece of a blend has wrought. I took my last dribble of this precious, sacred juice and sprayed it high into the steam rising from my bath, and, armed with a wonderful mind bending book, treated myself to as near a spiritual experience as I, your everlasting heathen is likely to get. Tell you what, friends, I bet my lottery ticket comes good tonight, because if there is a God up there, he caught a whiff of my fragranced bath steam and, being omnipotent and all that, he doesn’t want me to go without a bottle. *rattles rosary beads and retreats to a safe distance*
