Santo Incienso, Sillage Sacré

This is absolutely stunning! Not sure what some others here are smelling? Maybe it just doesn't work on their skin? But this is beautiful, light, natural and diaphanous and is exactly what I was expecting. It starts with a unique Bergamot note that is tinged in light incense, then not too long after that the Palo Santo moves in and stays for the duration. The opening is just beautiful and one of my favorite Bergamot openings. So soft and natural, not harsh and bright like some fragrances can be. It then moves more into the incense and Palo Santo and then the vetiver and cedar help ground it. It dries down around 3-5 hrs in and this lasted 12 + hours on my dry skin that hardly ever holds fragrance! Extremely shocked how long this lasts and how I can actually smell it the entire time. There are so many fragrances I've tried that most people report as heavy to super strong sillage and I barely can smell them. So this was a nice surprise. It was moderate to soft sillage, but is always there to my nose, and leaves the softest most beautiful trail behind me. But I guess since it's an extrait de parfum, it makes sense that it lasts forever. And all of this is coming from just a tiny little dabber sample from Luckyscent! Can't imagine how strong it will be when I can spray it on. I had a few people I work with who hate fragrances and get headaches even if I wear something super light and not offensive, tell me that I "smelled amazing today, and thanks for not wearing something that gives me a headache", haha! That is absolutely incredible. This is exactly as the perfumer was looking to do with this. It's ethereal and transformative and invokes a holy feeling, and a sense of calm. I'm actually glad it's not heavy handed and thick, it wouldn't be as beautiful. This is a beautifully stunning scent and I'll be buying a FB very soon. *Edit* Already bought a full bottle! Soooo good. Top 10 fragrance in my eyes! And this is ETERNAL! Lasts almost 24 hrs sometimes. And if you even get the tiniest bit on your clothes, that piece of clothing will have the most amazing soft scent for weeks! Incredible fragrance.

This is beautiful. On my skin it reads creamy woods, incense, citrus, and a little powdery. The bergamot opening is strong, but I also get the petitgrain and nutmeg nuances which smooth it out. The guaiac balances very well with the palo santo (contrary to popular belief, these are two distinctly different species of tree and smell differently). I'm a big fan of incense scents and this is light enough to wear in warmer weather. On the drydown it reminds me a little of Tam Dao with the creamy woods. It is also extremely similar to Wonderwood once the bergamot dries out. As another reviewer said, I'd be surprised if sandalwood were not in this.

This strikes me as a distant cousin of Shalimar. That contrast between the citrus and the balsamic, especially in the first hour. This is a major LOVE for me. A brightened, beautiful incense perfume with just the slightest coca cola with lemon sweetness and tang. Edit: After wearing this 5 or 6 times now, the performance is better than I initially thought. Especially if you spray while dressed and the mist hits your clothes. Got alot of compliments on Santo Inceienso and it seems like it trails quite a bit in the first few hours. People at work said I smelled clean and sexy, “slightly sweet and like soft leather” for what it’s worth.

WOW , Amazing Fragrance, Elegant, Classy, Woody, Spicy, Unique and Complex. In my opinion, This perfume has a masterful Well-blended Composition and I fell in love with it at first sniff ! Santo Incienso is on my Radar and I will buy it , I tried it in store and this one is the best of Different Company. It opens up with fresh spicy, citrusy, Spices and woody notes in the background then dry down is slightly smoky, warm spicy, balsamic resinous and woody. The Incense , Myrrh and Palo Santo notes are dominant in this Scent. Longevity is Average. Two Thumbs Up. Bravo Different Company ! Rating : 8.5 / 10

It opens fresh and spicy, I almost smell ginger from bergamot + nutmeg combination - which gives that fresh spiciness. It's woody, warm, clean, smokey yet somewhat keeping the freshness. I totally get why this can be all time around perfume. Friendly to wear to work. Little bit remindes me of Byredo Gypsy water without the creamy woody feeling from it, so it was a better alternative for me when I like the first sniff of Gypsy water but get tired of the heavy creamy woody later on.
