Upon immediate application, it is the precise aroma of Catholic church incense. It is very literal and very onenote (especially for a personal fragrance, as opposed to a room spray). It's a dry...

I am beyond thrilled to have finally found this. For longer than I care to remember I've been madly in love with Bois d'Encens but the price tag makes my eyes water. I've been receiving...

Lovely!!!!!! For me, this hits the perfect mark for a natural non aquatic non grassy green smell mixed with a less dense spicy incense. For me, the chamomile, offering its soothing nonabrasive...

LOVE it! My signature perfume and get compliments all the time. I like the others in the series, but this is by far my fave. Would love to see it in a body lotion and candle as well.

The go-to scent for when I drink red wine in the dark while Sisters of Mercy plays in the background. Amazing. One lippie off because I can't get it from any domestic retailer, online or...

Avignon strikes me as predominantly piney-resinous with an ethereal whisper of camomile. It captures some of that stone/earth chilliness that Messe de Minuit is so famous for but without being so...

I am so disappointed in this fragrance. I am a huge fan of incense and church smells but this one gives me a blinding headache. It is FULL ON dark, damp, pungent rottenness. I just can't describe...

While I'm impressed that someone could reproduce the smell of the book filled basement of an old church, I would not want to be the wearer of such a scent. Almost a spooky smell.
