Smoke is the only note I can pick up. Opening? Smoke. Drydown? Smoke. It’s a very nice smoke note mind you, but I was interested in Incendo primarily for the fir and pine notes which are not major players here.

I just ordered a bottle of this, blindly! I think IA’S CITY ON FIRE is too spicy smokey, and Arso is too cedar woody… soooo.. according to Landsharks review, and i do trust his reviews, i feel like this is just what the Fragrance Doctor ordered! Hurry up mailman!

My first try from La Curie seems to be the house’s most celebrated, and winner of 2016 Art and Olfaction Award, likely it’s most awarded.
Incendo puts forth the “burnt pine tree” vibe excellently, a blend of pine, fir needles, embers, incense, and sage yielding a robust blend that rivals some of the better examples of this concept that I’ve smelled. It has some bite but not a ton, not as much as, say, Timothy Han On the Road.
It partly embodies Imaginary Authors A City of Fire but perhaps with a little less spicy smoke, and partly embodies Profumum Arso but with a little less woods overall. To me, Incendo sits somewhere between these two.
Certainly it inherently is geared toward cold weather wearing, so I’d be reluctant to don this in the summer. Also, it’s slightly more masculine than unisex but certainly it’s unisex enough that many women will gravitate toward it. These are just stereotypes, anyway, and anyone can wear whatever they want.
At $95 for 50ml, this is wholly worthwhile, especially given that it performs robustly, very strong on projection and slow to diminish while also lasting a while.
An instant love, a bottle I now want, Incendo ranks among the best of I’ve tried in this burnt pine realm. Superb stuff!

This Winner of the 2016 Art & Olfaction Artisan Award reminds me of the interior of a cedar wood sauna. It’s all pine needles and burning embers that’ll keep you warm at night.
There’s a similarity to Olympic Orchids’ Woodcut, which has a burnt-caramel sweetness which is absent in Incendo. This will work equally well on a woman or a man. It’s a thinking-person’s fragrance… far sexier than the club-scene aquatic bro-cologne, or the latest pink princess fruitchuli. I’d like to get to know better, a person wearing Incendo.

A very dry burning incense on a bed of pine. The opening is very smokey, as if the fire was just lit and the smoke is burning off. It even has a bit of a charred smell like a bonfire in the cold. Then as it dries down, the most beautiful sweet-ish incense trails up with a touch of glowing pine embers. It smolders for hours. Moderate sillage, longevity good.

When I first tried the sample set, I was utterly confused and thought Incendo smelled like BBQ rub. I tried this again, though, and used a healthier splash of the perfume and I’m happy to report it was less BBQ and more “burning embers with pine branches and incense”.
Sillage is soft, and as to longevity I’m 8 hours in and it’s pretty well faded but still noticeable if you’re up close and know what to smell for (that would be a faint incense scent).

If you’ve ever smelled the clothes you brought back from a camping trip where campfires were featured, you know approximately what this smells like. It’s a lovely, simple, yet beautifully judged fragrance that seems quite natural and has good sillage and longevity.
I haven’t tried Lonestar Memories in four years so my memory may be unreliable but I would say this has more of an incense vibe whereas in Lonestar I get more leather. They are quite similar though.
There’s a part of me that feels a bit sad that campfires are such a novelty that anyone would want to recreate the smell in a fragrance and it’s a bit weird for me to think of someone paying to smell like something I’m used to encountering on my way to the laundry room while unpacking from a camping trip but I can see how if you lack these associations, this would be simply beautiful.
Bonus: the fragrancephobes I’m surrounded by won’t identify this as fragrance.
