Incenso

I tried it yesterday and it’s fascinating. I used to visit the prayer centers in Glastonbury for years, and there were shops downtown that sold all kinds of incense and essential oils. This Strega del Castello scent is exactly that... it’s like stepping into a cloud (both in the “Goddess Temple” and in the Star Child shop, downtown in Glastonbury). It was impossible to tell WHICH oil, incense, or candle you were smelling; you just felt enveloped by the scent. Does it last long? Just long enough. I sprayed it generously (three sprays, on my wrist, and a bit on my clothes) and it lasted about three hours—even after a quick shower—but I have a skin type that really amplifies scents. I won’t be buying it because for 75 euros (or 25 euros for 15ml), I’d rather buy an essential oil of Boswellia serrata from Flora Primavera, dilute it in almond oil, and it costs less. However, if you prefer a ready-made fragrance, this is the best one I’ve tried. It doesn’t smell “sweet,” it’s perfectly balanced! EDIT: Note that the scent is very, very linear, but I was describing the sensation of “incense.” It reminds me of high-quality church incense, the kind used only for special occasions.

christmas but in a religious way not a festive way. this is what i would wear if i was church siren (like office siren, but more catholic)

An incense very multifaceted, can remind at the beginning the smell of church than the dept of the fragrance change, and become sweet and very oriental and long lasting.
