This is a holy grail scent for me. I wear it a lot and have gone through 3 bottles of the spray already. I keep one on my desk and one at home so I have it at the ready. Anyone entering our office (I’m a receptionist) always comments on how great my little area smells. One of my co-workers always steals a spritz or two when she’s covering my desk for my breaks because she loves the smell.
It’s warm and cozy, like a big crocheted blanket cuddled around you on a stormy day as you sip tea and stare out the window. It also reminds me of church (I’m Catholic) and so I can bring a bit of that sacred feeling with me wherever I go.
If you like classic spicy orientals, I highly recommend this. It is reminiscent of Opium, Youth Dew, Shalimar, incense – though this is more “controllable” in my opinion as you can use just a bit and not overwhelm, whereas the others come out swinging right out of the gate.

This was a great blind buy, actually similar to Opium. It doesn’t last long but for its longevity it is really wonderful, deep, smoky, warm. It made me interested in the other offerings by this house, on the other hand it would be too much to order even more fragrance. This is wonderful for this wintertime, meditative, peaceful. And although I know it doesn’t mean much in terms of skin friendliness, I appreciate it being all natural.

The possibilities are endless. Body mist, hair scent, car freshener, closet/room spray, purse/luggage refresher, I spray this stuff all over my life.
It lasts and lasts, enchanting all the while. For under $10 I can get a 4 oz. bottle of this and it must be doing something right because hot damn does it generate some compliments everywhere I go. Many people randomly say “SOMETHING SMELLS GOOD” in my direction. To which I smile but only give away my secret if asked point-blank “what are you wearing!?”
Some people smell incense and sweet patchouli notes during the lengthy dry-down. Some people smell high-class grooming products and that powder-fresh aura.
But what do *I* smell??? I smell like someone who listens to jam bands all day, goes stargazing at the beach, wears love beads, works in a head shop selling incense and glass novelties, casts love spells in her spare time, and collects rare books of hidden knowledge.
It’s divine.

Finally broke down and bought this after sniffing all of them every time I’m in Publix. It’s a dry, citrusy incense that lasts several hours.
It smells like the best drydown elements of Youth Dew and is an outstanding bargain at $8. The patch and lavender are coming home with me next time.

The opening is a bit harsh and hard to tolerate but the dry down is heavenly. I also must admit that it smells better as it sits over a period of time. The last time I sprayed it was a few months ago and it had poor performance, less than an hour. Today is a humid day and I can smell it after 6 hours upon application. It’s a nice mild sweet smoky scent that is perfect for any season.

For me, frankincense has a connotation of not Christmas or church (I’m Protestant), but balmy summer nights. When I was a child, my mother would burn globs of frankincense on those little charcoal tablets while we’d sit out in the yard until late at night, talking with friends. So this is a perfect summer perfume for me.
Every autumn, my husband and I go to a huge Renaissance festival. There is a little stall there that sells perfumes and incense. They always have multiple sticks of incense burning and little globs of frankincense and myrrh sizzling on charcoal tablets. This smells very reminiscent of that, though perhaps less smokey. It makes me look forward to that festival, the highlight of the season. So for me, this is the perfect autumn scent.
This perfume oil is so deep and warm and resinous, it is impossible to be cold while wearing it. It wraps you in a deliciously soft blanket of scent. It is the perfect dark, warming scent for winter. And, of course, the wise men brought frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child.
I don’t really have a story for spring, but I love it and wear it just as much in that season. This is my comfort scent.
As far as notes go, it smells pretty much of frankincense and myrrh, not surprising as it uses mainly essential oils to get its fragrance. I have the perfume oil roll-on instead of the spray version shown here, I also have the massage oil and the laundry detergent. Which are both excellent, and all three smell the same. This has a tiny bit of what could possibly be construed as a lemony note, but I think it’s really just the bitterness of the myrrh manifesting as a little sour in the beginning. This is a deep, spiritual, resinous, dark, hippie perfume in my esteem. For the full effect, it should be worn with traditional harem pants while doing yoga.

Lovely, old, smokes, mellow and spicey. I have the roll on cologne which has just come out in December 2016. Wonderful longevity. Got my first comments in a lnnnnggg time wearing this. I might start layering with something sweet like Tuberose to mix things up. The longevity and the woody-spiciness of this is a great base.

My boyfriend and I were well on our way to a beach wedding – he was in the groom’s party – when I realized with great disappointment that I had forgotten to bring any fragrance with me. Knowing how much it meant to me, but not being near any real perfume outlets, my sweet partner swung me by the nearest grocery store, where I spotted this plastic bottle on a low shelf.
It turned out that this little body mist completely exceeded both of our expectations. It’s at once warm, gentle, enveloping, deep, sweet, and magical. I sprayed it on over my chambray dress and knit sweater and was so happy in the cool breeze under the warm sun, walking up and down the beach during photos and swinging on the wooden porch watching an afternoon storm roll in. It wafted around me throughout, its balmy, spiced sillage staying with me through our rainy ride home that evening.
This isn’t incense in the burned way; it’s sweet-smokey, soft and resinous, not the charred, leathery incense of Shalimar. If you love the scent of Opium (like I do), but find it a bit overwhelming (like I do), this might be a lovely answer. It’s linear, I suppose, in that it doesn’t really change over time, but “linear” isn’t a word that suits it. It’s rounded, mellow, misty, lingering. It creates its own whole little world, warm, sweet, sacred, timeless.

Hmm this is not what i was expecting. This is very synthetic fragrant oil blended in water. It is powdery yet singes your nose because its sharp as well. Overall I find it musty, dusty, smells more like lavender, exactly like the inside of an very old neglected linen cupboard that has scatted lavender sachets and mothballs. I do not pick up frankincense at all, there is nothing “incense” about this, unfortunately a failed blind buy. Please try before buy.

This is beautiful – I bought it to use as a room spray for the holidays and will continue to use it – at least through the cool weather – on both room and body. It’s gently spicy, woody, slightly sweet incense and it’s gorgeous.

LOVE THIS ONE !!!!
Great, everyday body spray with decent longevity!!!
The bodywash is also FAN-tastic !!!

For a body spray this lasts an impressively long time! I’ve smelled it 10+ hours in. The secret is to give it a good shake beforehand.
It’s warm, spicy, woody, and resinously sweet. One spritz warms me up and gives me cozy vibes, two sprays and I’m in spice heaven because it’s playfully sharper and tickles the nose like fresh cut ginger or milled pepper would.
Three sprays and you’re entering migraine territory. Don’t do it!

My mother used to get the actual frankincense and myrrh resins when I was a child and burn them at the holidays. Now I wear this most often during that same season, feeling the sense of the sacred draw near for a while. It also reminds me of Easter services at Orthodox churches, where the fragrance of this pair combines with pure beeswax. The sillage is powerful, and one light spritz and I smell like incense all day; it also works well as a linen and clothing spray. It is dark, mysterious, sexy and sacred at the same time.

I have this and it is AH-MAY-ZING. I love to spray it around my bed before I go to sleep, and I also wear it as a body spray. It lasts pretty dang well both ways. I get this almost spicy, gingery/cinnamony scent and I absolutely adore it.
