Incarnation

This is an intoxicating rose scent that is unlike others. It is truly unique. Incarnation is an exotic hot cinnamon rose (pepper perhaps turns on the cinnamon vibe). I love it! Yes, it is a spicy rose! And I get the connection to Chanel No. 5 via aldehydes. I agree with those reviewers. Lilanur needs to do a better job of advertising their delicious flavors. The world is missing out...Resisting a blind buy? For sure buy the sample set.

Aldehylic floral Chypre... I LOVE it! It’s like Chanel No. 5 with a rosy twist and I know a lot of people these days aren’t into No. 5, and aldehydes, but I adore this scent profile.

Testing this blind from their discovery set, this more mature feminine scent is a little out of my wheelhouse. Without knowing the notes a rose and spicy air with a deeper and more sophisticated body was my impression. It comes across as "be over 45". It reminds me a little bit of rose soap, but far more robust and luxurious. Looking at the notes now, besides the obvious rose, the aldehydes, pepper, and jasmine stick out to me more, while the labdanum and Otis root provide body and depth. I don't really sense the vetiver. It's a familiar rose profile that is reminiscent of soapy rosy luxury goods in grandma's bathroom, but more clear and less fussy. Just not sure I or anyone I know fits such a profile.
