Encens Suprême

Surprised how much I like this. It's a lovely incense and leather fragrance. That's basically all it does, but it does it well. It's not very churchy. It doesn't smell of coriander at all. (Sorry, Givaudin, and your new captive molecule.) Completely linear (not an insult). Versace claim it has a middle of artificial woods (cashmeran, agikala). I like wood, but I don't smell it here. Certainly not these artificial "theoretical" wood notes - and that's good. Just leather and resins. (Edit: However, I could smell woods on clothes the next day.) The leather is so...erm...not quite "light," but way more "floaty" than in, say Acqua di Parma Leather or TF Tuscan Leather. It's like a babbling brook that carries the resins. I absolutely loved it. But £300? You can stuff that up your arse. The notes on fragrantica are off. Here's what Versayse say it is (and I can't smell the fake mid, thank goodness) : Top: Incense essence, saffron, coriander seeds (OrPur), smoke accord Heart: Akigalawood, cashmere wood, amber wood Base: Incense resinoid, leather accord, cistus absolute, musk Incense over leather broadly sums it up.

tldr: love love LOVE. I feel like a glamorous chorizo or a vigan longganisa when I wear this. it’s probably the coriander but this is almost a gourmand at first spray... gorgeously spicy and piquant, but not like chorizo breath/longganisa breath pungent, just like sharp and almost fresh; it then leads into this heady, smoky scent that, true to its name, reminds me of burning incense in a church. it develops a certain sweetness to it the longer it’s on me, and I can honestly say it’s such a fresh scent in my perfume wardrobe. longevity is very good, I woke up the next day and it was still there, and it survived a round or so of washing. sillage/projection is not too dangerously overpowering, but it is at my “wont choke out the entire subway car but will make hot people stop and stare when I walk past” kind of level. verdict: love it. need to work more so I can keep on buying it. it’s gonna become a mainstay. (ps: I have an emotional connection because this was purchased along with my first ever luxury bag. shoutout to giacomo in versace milano you’re a gem!!)

It is a fantastic blend of Chopard’s Nobile Vetiver and Montblanc’s Black Meisterstück (also a Jordi Fernández creation). While those two are absolute masterpieces that set the bar incredibly high, this Versace fragrance reaches an even higher level of quality. On my skin, it is also significantly more long-lasting. If you have the chance, you must smell it—it’s an incredible experience. It feels very, very prestigious. Sophisticated. Unique. Uplifting. Aristocratic. It has a calming effect and honestly puts a smile on my face. The fragrance features a high-quality, slightly earthy vetiver, which is beautifully balanced by the incense. Don't be intimidated by the incense note, though; it doesn't have that typical 'churchy' vibe at all. There’s also a hint of leather, but it’s very airy and blends seamlessly with the other notes. The bottle and the packaging are simply stunning!"

Definitely reminds me of Tom Ford Black Lacquer just a hair more aromatic. It’s really good juice. Woody. Sophisticated. Classical. Reminds me of my dad’s ancient black wooden dresser. Timeless. Nostalgic. Hidden with secrets untold until the time is right for coming of age. This fragrance pairs AMAZINGLY with Tabac Imperial.
