BOM Incense

Being an incense fragrance lover I HAD to try this fragrance! I was finally able to order a sample from the Ys-Uzac website the moment it was available. The notes already had me when I read incense and olibanum, and as icing on the cake pistachio was listed. I was expecting a somewhat gourmand slightly sweet or nutty incense. However to my disappointment this is a rather "green" smelling fragrance. This is another take on Olibanum and incense, a take I really don't like at all haha. It is not per ce a bad fragrance, however just not my cup of tea. To my nose this is no churchy balmy incense fragrance. However it's just a green herbal take on a note which apparently is incense.

Huh. Hits me as an industrial smell, intense opening. A few minutes in its a bit turpentine, a little bit woodsmoke and tar. Getting increasingly green pistachio, which is sharper than I expected, not really nutty. An hour later, it's died down to something softer pistachio and pine-y. (Being from a protestant/godless country, I don't know frankincense to pick it out.)
