I’ll keep this brief because Noble Incense needs little introduction or explanation and my constant gushing will have people thinking I’m some kind of shill for Bella Bellissima…well I’m not just a vocal cheerleader.
Noble Incense starts out with that oriental, balsamic spice vibe in which you get lightheaded, as if walking into an opium den complete with the punctuating twang of exotic, harp like instruments…well I did anyway.
It’s got the labdanum and other resins I love a solid woodiness infinitely complex and although a domiinatant note, so much better than the straight forward olibanum other houses seem to churn out. I can get that there’s great sandalwood in here and even papyrus than I’m not so keen on usually but frankly this fragrance can’t and doesn’t put a foot wrong. It lasts ages, projects and is simply briliiant. There you go!
