Gorgeous, gorgeous simple introduction to incense fragrance. It’s vanilla. It’s ylang ylang and it’s incense. Notes are completely balanced so perfectly together, it stays closer to the skin. Not a big projector, however it’s so beautiful that I don’t really care, so if you’re a person who loves tropical florals and miss them in the winter time, this is perfect because this is a tropical floral/vanilla fragrance that you can wear year-round and I don’t think the incense is too heavy to pull it off in the summertime. I sprayed this and it was an instant love. I tried to purchase it at Scentbar in LA but unfortunately they were out of stock so I’ll have to wait till they get it back before I can add it to my collection. I think it really is an excellent intro to incense fragrance because incense is a note that can be a little challenging but here it’s done so beautifully that even if you didn’t like incense, I think you could still like it here. This is perfect for what I was looking for, a very wearable incense fragrance that is still feminine and soft. I find myself appreciating more simplistic fragrances lately. I've learned that all you need sometimes is a few very well placed and blended notes to create a wonderful, memorable fragrance. This creates the most beautiful scent bubble around me. It's like I have this warm, vanillic, slightly smoky, slightly tropical cloud surrounding me and I think it's just the most inviting, comforting scent.

It’s really spicy and balsamic vanilla with a heavier floral edge. It’s both creamy and punch at the same time. I almost feel cinnamon in here because it reminds me a lot of now discontinued Zahira by Bvlgari. Beautiful but I would probably woud wear it in winter and most likely when going outdoors.

Just, yes. Smells unlike most of the “smells like” section but I like all those scents too. Beautiful and classic smokey powdered vanilla.

A heavier kind of vanilla, underpinned by subtle accords of incense and ylang-ylang. A rich composition that envelops and lingers for a long time. This is not a typical sweet gourmand, but rather a more sensual interpretation.

A gothic church vanilla, a dessert at the graveyard.
