Sacristie Des Arbres

#1755 in my “Tour de Fragrance” This reminds me of an incensy Jacomo EDT I used to wear way back called “Jacomo de Jacomo in Black.” I don’t think it’s still made. What I replaced it with over a decade back is less churchy, Givenchy’s “Gentleman Only Intense” which is like this but lighter, more floral, way the hell cheaper. Then I found a discounted bottle of Boadiciea the Victorious “Complex” which is amazing. I also recently acquired Les Liquides Imaginaires “Sancti” which for me was not churchy enough so I gave it away. I definitely like this more than the Givenchy, or the Les Liquides, but not more than “Complex.". My top pick, if you wanna go all churchy, is still Boadicea “Complex” which is churchy with leather covered pews. And I think still half the price of this stuff. Followed closely by V Canto “Mea Culpa.” V Canto “Mea Culpa” is only $75. Even Serge Lutens “La Religieuse” is around $85 and I think any of those scents will vibe with your inner monk or nun. But, if price is no consideration, this is a very nice juice with good quality. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

opens with smoky resinous eucalyptus and vanilla with a smooth wood finish. the vanilla becomes noticeably more pronounced over time but the composition is never too sweet, it's tempered nicely by the cedar and pine and on the whole comes across as warm and enveloping. the eucalyptus takes a bit of a backseat on drying but is still noticeable, little hints of it on the front of each inhale. the incense similarly retreats a bit here, i might say it's a little weak on my skin but i still get enough of it to be satisfied. a slight powderiness in the base (as is typical for many of sorcinelli's scents) that mingles nicely with the rose and vetiver and, i feel, anchors the whole thing very nicely. very much reminiscent of a spa day or a relaxing soak in a hot tub with some nice, high quality aromatherapy oils as others have observed. certainly worth a try; i think this is a great, straightforward unique unisex scent.

Starting with a vivid, fresh pine tree smell—nothing chemical. I don't get any incense at the opening. Instead, it's more minty and forest-like. After about 40–70 minutes, I start to notice the vetiver blended with vanilla and amber. The incense is not the main ingredient here; this scent is more about something fresh and minty. It's a very good choice for summer if you want something fresher with touches of incense and amber. How does it smell? At the start, it's 100% mint and pine. As the mint begins to fade away, you mostly get what is listed in the base notes. However, the incense is not heavy it stays somewhere in the background

This one is incensy through and through and the accompanying notes are changing around it In the opening the incense is fresh and aromatic, almost cooling The notes of pine and mint are blending with incense beautifully As it dries the fragrance begins warming up The fresher notes slowly disappear and the warmer ones such as vanilla, musk and amber start emerging The longer you wear it, the sweeter it becomes

Beautiful vanilla and cedar, incredibly comforting. Doesn't project as heavily as Sorcinelli's other work (a plus for some, but not for me). It's addictive & soft. Might seem obvious, but the warm sauna quality is part of what makes it so sweet and relaxing. I want a lifetime supply.
