I always try on a Kuumba made fragrance when I visit the health food store. This is quite powdery. You could imagine your cat lady aunt wearing it in the 80s or early 90s. Not in a bad way, it’s evocative. Sadly, it is the first kuumba made oil that gave me a bad reaction. My throat got raspy feeling and I had to shower and wash off this fragrance.

This. Is. AMAZING!! People are dogging on it as being sharp or for not smelling like incense. False (imho)! Rich, intense, warm, a tad vanillic. It smells identical to the incense we burn at Catholic mass. To each his/her own, but I am blown away by this. It’s like Shalimar, and Opium light. Very reminiscent of a gorgeous perfume from the past, it even sports a certain aldehyde effect. Excellent sillage for an oil fragrance.

This is a sweet, slightly spicy scent with a fizzy vibe.
It reminds me a bit of Coca Cola, but that’s just in the opening of the scent. Towards the heart and the drydown I can detect the frankincense, which gives the scent that lovely incensy church smell. But the sweetness still lingers an keeps the scent from being too spiritual and serious.
I kind of miss the myrrh though. It might be the myrrh that gives the scent that fizzy feeling, but it still doesen’t smell like real, slightly bitter and incensy myrrh. But still a lovely scent that I really like to wear.
Longevity is 7-8 hours and sillage is medium.

I bought this for the Christmas season a while back, as it seemed appropriate. But the resins were just so incredibly sharp, strong, and soapy-sweet that my gut reaction was a slight headache and an unsettled stomach. I probably just don’t have a great tolerance for such high doses of resin without something to dilute the effect. Anyway, I gave this away as a Christmas gift…

Doesn’t really smell much like frankincense nor myrrh – I have many incense fragrances, oils and absolutes, and I have to say that this oils scent is not what the name implies. Other Kuumba made scents are quite good, though. Odd.

Just got this in the mail yesterday. Best description I can give-head shop hippie oil. A bet on the sweet side, not as resinous as I would like. It’s just OK to me, not great, but OK.
