    My mom would ALWAYS ask me if I went to mass every time I wore Gucci Pour Homme (2002) because of the resinous incensey dry down. She loved whenever I’d wear that perfume! 🤭

    fun fact about Chanel No. 5 - Coco Chanel was inspired by a formula for """Catherine de’ Medici,'"" and after close collaboration with pianist and friend Misia Sert, decided to work on a signature scent, enlisting the help of Ernest Beaux.
    MORE -
    Acqua di S.M. Novella - also known as Acqua della Regina (the Queen's Water) - it celebrates the perfume that Caterina de' Medici commissioned the Dominican monks to create in 1533, and she took it with her to France when she married Enrico di Valois. It is a fresh and citrusy bouquet.

    glad to see this video! As someone who grew up Catholic the smell of a church is very nostalgic to me and others. Always was looking for something to take that mood into a fragrence. Def picking up a few of your choices

    A great underrated gem imo is Encens roi by HDP! It’s pretty much the most realistic burning olibanum resin scent I’ve tried. The dry down is amazing and goes into a ambery-oudy-spicy-cocoa direction. Really really amazing stuff!

    Fun video! But no incense list is complete without Armani Privée Bois d’Encens, which I live for. It’s actually a stripped down version of Gucci pour Homme also by Michel Almirac. Problem is, I can’t figure out if it’s discontinued. It’s on the Armani site but hasn’t been in stock for years 🧐
    Also, I just picked up the limited edition Adorem from the Nez 1+1 line by Pierre Negrin. It’s extreme incense and cacao (and lots more). So, so good!

    I’ve always loved the smell of incense. Particularly frankincense. Raised in a Catholic household and being an alter boy as well as being obsessed with Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” vinyl that was sprayed with this amazing Patchouli incense smell would do that to you. My favorite has been Robert Piguet’s “Kasbuh”.
    Til this day I’m still in search of a fragrance that smells similar to that Madonna vinyl.

    Serge Lutens L'Orpheline opens up like a very musky oldschool barbershop fragrance that dries down to ashy Incense and clean musk. Its not very churchy but with a bit of imagination it could take you there. A bit monotone but it just adds to the melancholy of the fragrance.

    I really need to try the Matière Première, I have two of them already. Aurélien is an amazing perfumer. I love anything liturgical and the Jovoy is an absolute joy for me but sadly the longevity is next to non existent (2-3 hrs on skin tops) so I opt for Cardinal most of the time just for the longer wear. There's another favorite of mine: Nobile 1942's Malvs, a lesser known release from that house which is a beautiful vanillic myrrh-driven incense fragrance.

Shame there was no room on the list for my fave CdG 2 Man, but hey.
