Reminds me of a drier version of Encens Liquide by Memoire Liquide and less pencil shavings than Incense 3: Avignon by Comme des Garcons. Smells exactly like C d G, though with about the same staying power. Both CdG and Voix go for close to $100 USD on Ebay. I found Encens @ TJMaxx for less than $20. Which would I recommend buying? . . . You do the math : D

Wore this fragrance all day long. It was rather tenacious albeit not a heavy-hitter by any means. Sillage was very good for many hours. What stood out the most were frankincense, bergamot, and vanilla. Was it “milk mousse” or just vanilla? I really don’t know, but it gave it a gourmand quality. On the whole, the perfume was too tangy for me, reminding me very much of Atelier’s Vanilla Incensee, a woody vanilla that is too sour. Except this adds frankincense to the mix; and a little elemi but only in the first 5-10 minutes.
That being said, I respect it as a very nice incense perfume and a creative use of frankincense. My favorite is Plein Jeu III-V. It’s a tie between this and Contre Bombarde 32 (which I blind-bought and promptly sold) because neither of the other two really “do it” for me. This is great if a creamy, gourmand frankincense sounds appealing to you. Best part is that none of these perfumes seem to contain an overdose of Iso E Super. The ingredients seem to lean more on the natural side.
I have to say though–I really love this perfumer!

The opening is citrus and jasmine with orange blossom and elemi supporting it. There is a woodiness to it that reminds me of sap and pine needles, but it is also clearly a soft floral.
As it settles it warms with frankincense and ambrette enveloping the citrus and jasmine. At this point it kind of alternates between clean smelling and peppery. Then it is lime and incense.
The drydown is a lovely sweet creamy incense. This is where that whipped cream was hiding. At some point that lime left and I didn’t see it go. I still get a hint of woodiness though

Elemi, sour lime, slight peppers, incense, orange, and slight cardamom.
It’s more of an incense lime as the above combination formed the incense note.
Fair.

Hard to find the differences between this and Plen Jeu; I can’t understand the ratio of making and launching together two perfumes so similar.
The second stays a bit more flowery and sweet, while this is more peppery.
You must be into incensed fragrance to like this series; I’m not so found of, unless the perfume is complex, many-sided; to me these are not, although they are very concentrated and provide long lasting performances.
I like all the three perfumes, but love none.

Starts out almost identical to Plein Jeu III-V, then turns greener & fresher with a creamy twist. More agreeable & easy to wear.

This one is slightly sweet, but still has an airiness to it. Peppery incense, cool, yet a milkiness that gives this a slight sweetness. Well done.
