Frankincense & Myrrh

A bit citrusy and rather sweet. I almost get a hint of bubblegum, which I get from other resinous scents (e.g. Bal à Versailles). As others have noted, it has a head shop thing going on. I'd feel weird wearing this one with formal or office wear, unless I was in the mood to let my freak flag fly. Still, great bang for the buck, and never hits an off note for me. Layers well with other scents (esp. citruses, florals). Most recently I wore this with an oil dupe of Stella by Stella McCartney (a bright, citrusy rose)--I meant to apply more of the Stella and grabbed this vial instead, accidentally concocted a stunning oriental rose, and spent the rest of the evening delightedly huffing my arms.

Balsamic, comforting sweetness of resin with a pinch of citrus hint that penetrates and envelopes everything around. With that thing on you are blessing location with heavenly presence. No smokiness registered for me :) Straightforward composition, for one it might be too linear. On the other hand, I want nothing more, than this obnoxious duo of "church"-like resins. Oil-based; the only substance causing allergic reaction on my skin, but only behind the ear area. Longevity is good (great for 4-6h, close to skin for about 10h), but projection and sillage are great during first 2-3h. Loving it, 10/10 even though it's not perfect.

This. Is. AMAZING!! People are dogging on it as being sharp or for not smelling like incense. False (imho)! Rich, intense, warm, a tad vanillic. It smells identical to the incense we burn at Catholic mass. To each his/her own, but I am blown away by this. It's like Shalimar, and Opium light. Very reminiscent of a gorgeous perfume from the past, it even sports a certain aldehyde effect. Excellent sillage for an oil fragrance.

My nose takes this slightly differently than many of the reviews. The frankincense and myrrh notes are unmistakable, but besides those I smell a spiky, bitter, green accord, possibly galbanum. This is neither sweet nor sour, but a refreshingly green-bitter, which I really like. I wish they made it in an ETOH-based spray at EdP levels.

I love this. Resinous, woody, subtly spiced. Castile soap vibes. Longevity is fantastic for a fragrance oil.
