Fire From Heaven is excellent…I have the absolute which is more lasting than the water perfumes (typically) and has good lasting power…this is a tight marriage of smoke and incense that is not overpowering…absolutely heavenly…

I must agree w/ the review below mine: to me this smells like the glue used in book bindings (older ones) and I can’t shake this impression! Something about the water base, maybe? An odd woody impression also is present giving the book vibe more cred. Not smoky to/on me at all; I don’t know what to think of it! This was for the Water Perfume version: the absolute smells more like cedar shavings but I still get no smokiness at all. Strange.

A notably different take on incense, worth trying for any incense lover. A comforting dusty fragrance with a slightest hint of sweetness which brings wood pulp and parchment to mind. In fact, “dusty old book” would sum it up well. Would have been a much better choice for CB’s “In The Library” than the perfume he used. THIS is the library – the one he calls “In The Library” is more like the old librarian’s signature scent.

I really enjoyed the sample I got recently. Nice blend of woods and resins where none of the notes dominate, but instead fit together like a puzzle. Lack of longevity knocks it down a few points, but it’s still a winner.

I really like this combo of sandalwood and incense – but it doesn’t last more than 2 hours on my skin. This seems to be an issue with all the CB water perfumes (at least for me). Chris Brosius has created some interesting and thoughtful fragrances, but they just don’t seem to have any tenacity.
On the other hand, this fragrance and others from the line might suit you if you’re looking for something transparent and insular.

finalmente mi sono imbattuta nel fumoso definitivo. è come annusare della torba bruciata. come sniffare le note volatili di un whiskey affumicato. in più un magnifico sentore metallico, durante l’assestamento. notevolissimo. più un’esperienza olfattiva di pura sperimentazione che un profumo vero e proprio.

Sandalwood essential oil. That’s all I’m getting 🙁 I wanted to like this, but once I identified the smell I can’t find anything else in it. After a few wears still the same. Nothing wrong with sandalwood but can pick that up from the health food shop for 20 bucks.
My first foray into CB- I like the principle of the house so will keep hunting.

SWOON!!!!
This scent literally WOW’d my socks off. It isn’t a perfume – it’s olfactory heroin! I’ve worn it a couple days now and I must look like a complete idiot sniffing my damn wrists and smiling every six seconds.
Okay sillage. Decent longevity. The drydown is much less dramatic than the opening, but it’s still very lovely. I’m a huge fan of this stuff!
Can’t wit to try CB’s Burning Leaves!

This is heavenly. A little smokey and strong at first, it dries down to a wonderful sultry incense which lasts and lasts.

Very incensy, sweet and likeable. At the beggining I get incense + myrhh combo, which smells very warm, like an old church, very spiritual. It’s very comforting. After the incensy opening I start to get sweet and warm resins, which are very lovely. It becomes more and more warm, I can feel cedar with it’s dryness and almost medical feeling.
It’s lovely. Warm, incensy, comforting, snuggly. Really good, give it a try. Very different from anything else, but very wearable and actually feminine and sexy.

Wow!!! Subtle, smokey, woody, resinous…all the things I love in a fragrance. It’s not often a fragrance blows my mind, but this one did. It’s one of those “this is exactly how I want to smell” fragrances. I must have it for winter!
