Description

An awe-inspiring, divine aroma whose ingredients have been used by royalty and religious practitioners for centuries. Notes of warm benzoin and rich oud at the base escalate clear through the heart and top of the fragrance, counteracted by the subtle, bright edge of frankincense. This is a sophisticated and evocative, resinous and incense scent to be enjoyed by men and women alike. Hallow was launched in 2012.

    This is a very pleasant basic incense that I think skews a tiny bit masculine. I don’t know why but the Marzipan seems more likea sweet grass vetiver. There’s a lovely warmth that I associate with mens’ colognes near the chest. It’s not terribly complex, not particularly spicy, just incense that is truly balanced between acrid and sweet, though more sweet. Recent incense offerings from many houses are smokey, astringent, peppery, woodsy, highly spiced and aromatic. I love most of them. This is more entry level very good, gentle silage and moderate longevity, calming incense– don’t think Andy Tauer, Avignon, or Heeley. And guys–do not be deterred by the marzipan. I think it might make for snugle-worthiness. I like layering btw with Mandy Aftelier’s incense-based body oil. I may pick up more when many of my spendier ‘censes get low.

    Yummy sweet resinous incense with a pronounced woody note. I would say the oud is more cedar-like. My guy likes it and he’s hard to please.

    Got a sample of it and it’s exactly as the notes described it to be. Slight smokeyness but mostly sweet. Too much sugar and not enough everything else for me. I would say it is like Tokyo Milk’s Honey and the Moon, but a little quieter and more refined. If you like the sugar scents it’s for you. I won’t be getting a big bottle.
    And this is another yellow jacket wasp magnet. I notice that many scents recommended for Autumn have the sweet factor. Just coincidence? Or is there a conspiracy out there to get the unsuspecting stung by wasps? Autumn is when they go sugar crazy to stock up before Winter. Must consult the Illuminati!

    Sweet woody smoky blandness.
    If you’ve ever dreamed of a frankincense-marzipan combination, this is your bag…
    I’m not sure anyone has ever really desired such a combo.. it doesn’t really click or blend into something greater than it’s parts. Thankfully the individual parts are not unpleasant and they don’t clash or anything but they’re just simple to a fault.
    It opens with soft frankincense and sweet blobby benzoin/marzipan and it pretty much stays the same throughout all of it’s life. No detectable oud here to my nose.
    I’ve grown very tired of “doughy sweetness”. The sort of shallow, plain candy notes that are haphazardly shoved underneath smoky or masculine notes to create “interesting contrast”. The most prominent recent offender has been Tom Ford with Noir Extreme and it’s candied baby formula character. The sweetness in Hallow is just so shallow (pardon the rhyme). Sweet notes can be dark, deep, and mysterious, but the marzipan here just makes me think of a cold plate with a thin layer of Jello brand tapioca pudding. A visual interpretation of the concept of blandness.
    Ok, end anti-candy-blob-diatribe. This is not bad, but it’s nothing exciting or interesting. If you are a big fan of sweet notes and Olibanum than it might be worth checking out as this is not especially expensive or anything. Not for me.
    4.5/10
