What wearers say

“I blind bought a bottle fairly cheap on an auction site (legit reseller). It's all incense. Dry but warm. I love it!Performance if kind of meh though. Sillage only lasts two hours - tops! This is why I stay away from the expensive fragrances.. Might smell nice, but never worth the price if it doesn't perform. It's a new bottle so here's to hoping....”

“Beautiful church incense fragrance. There's an almost dampness to the wood notes. Reminds me of walking through an old Catholic church museum in the Philippines where you could just smell that all the wood work was original construction (and I walked through twice to smell it again!). Longevity and sillage are great. Similarly priced to Jovoy's La Liturgie de Hueres which, to me, smells a bit more natural.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“If you've ever been to a Catholic church (or other church ceremonies) when they burn the incense in that lantern thing they swing around, it smells exactly like that. This is a straight up smokey incense smell.It's really simple. If you want to smell like incense then you'll like it. If you don't want to smell like incense then you won't like it.The longevity is terrible. This is one of the shortest lasting fragrances I've ever tried. I put one spray on my wrist about 20 minutes ago and already almost gone.”

Sillage

The clone has noticeably shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 7-8 hours) and reduced sillage, with a less prominent amber sweetness in the drydown. The incense accord, while present, doesn't have the same smoky complexity as the designer version.
