Opening lemon. Then predominantly Lavander and Incense. I have read reviews that state it's simple Lavander and Frankicense, and others that state it's juniper, Rosemary, Angelica, clary sage,...

Notes: incense, lavender, vegetal amber and clary sage. This fragrance opens smelling weakly of lavender and as it hits my skin it dissolves into a sharp, herbal green accord reminiscent of...

I want to like this one but it so obviously doesn’t like me. Actually, it feels like my fragrance-loving friends held a special ritual at a temple with incense and lavender and I arrived too late...

I love incense and I love lavender, but I did not love this fragrance. As some reviewers have noted, it is very masculine.....and I wear some fairly masculine scents. Usually I find that they...

I got a small decant from a generous MUAer in a swap recently. In some ways, I wanted to love this, but in other ways, I'm glad I didn't because it's in the non-export line, and who needs that...

Encens et Lavande is the nicest lavender I have ever smelled and it is the ONLY time that a lavender note has made me feel "relaxed" or "sleepy". That lavender aromatherapy stuff has just never...

I LOVE lavender, so I knew that I would like this to some degree. I am also a big fan of Gris Clair, which I prefer over this. I'm not sure why; I think I like the "darker" feel of the latter...

Encens et Lavande isn't a single note perfume, but it's not exaggerating to say that it's a double note perfume: incense and lavender. Shocking, I know. And it delivers a lovely warming copal and...

Like SMN's Imperial Lavender its got that too sharp lavender. Not feminine at all. No incense in it. Maybe a bit of pepper? This was a medicinal single note.

Yes, lovely for a man of distinction and maybe a few years. We aren't talking about the shaggy faced 25 year old here ... This is a fragrance meant for a man in a certain place in life. Confident,...

Notes: Lavender, Amber, Incense, Sage If like me you are wary of the sometimes scarily oriental fragrances that Mr. Sheldrake puts out, dont worry. Encens et Lavande (EL), like Iris Silver Mist,...

The only SL I've loved from start to finish. Begins with a burst of bright, fresh lavender, then comes a wonderful earthy frankincense note. The amber/sage drydown becomes almost mossy. However,...

I have been known to wear and like unisex fragrances. This, however, was a little bit too masculine for me. Encens et Lavande does not "fit" my personality and the way I carry and project myself. I...

My first reaction was Must. Wash. Off. NOW. But I've come to learn to give Serge time to do his thing, so impatiently I waited, tortured with the screaming lavender. And I waited, and waited, and...

As the lady at the Lutens boutique informed me while I was testing it, this is more lavender in the beginning and more incense in the end. I don't usually like lavender but this (and Gris Clair)...
