    So beautiful! I can't decide whether it's a church or possibly a sunny forest, or both. Probably both. It's not the perfumey kind of incense, but the nature-like kind of incense, which reminds me...

    I love this fragrance for layering and I repurchase this regularly. I love this so much and I consider this an absolute essential for me. I don't wear this in the summer but it's beautiful. I don't...

    I was hoping this would smell really dark, (more of the Bois d'encens category of the incense fryer swinging before you at midnight mass-- but unlike the bois, that it would last). Well, last it...

    From the samples I tested today this was the most interesting. Yes, it smells like a musty catholic church, but in such a comforting, luxurious way, that I cannot help sniffing my wrist again and...

    Really does smell exactly like a Catholic church. It certainly conjures up many feelings and emotions, especially for those of us who actually are Catholic. I do enjoy the smell of incense, and I...

    I finally got an opportunity to try a few of the CDG Incense series. I sampled both Avignon and Kyoto. With Kyoto, I got pure citronella and was reminded of wearing bug spray. Avignon, however, is...

    I always find this pitch-perfect when I'm in the mood for dry incense, any time of year. Because so many Catholics find the scent freakishly similar to the incense used in Mass, I'm a little shy...

    This is a lovely fragrance to wear in the winter. To my nose, it is straight up frankincense, exactly what is used in Catholic Masses. It is really strong on me but mellows out considerably when...

    Not going to wax poetic because others have done it here far better. I just like it, that's all. It's one of those scents I keep coming back to and loving every darn time. But then I love...

    In a buying frenzy on BeautyHabit (had a coupon), I bought this and Kyoto unsniffed and I'm so glad I did! Let me first say that I have no religious experiences to go with this scent, so that was...

    Definitely not catholic so I can't speak about any evocation whatsoever. i sometimes like incense as in passage d'enfer and dzhonka. i put on a dab before yoga class, after a warm bath in which i'd...

    I received a sample of Avignon, because I couldn't begin to imagine the smell ... whenever I think of Avignon, all I think of is the Papal Schism of the 1300's, and I sure wouldn't want to smell...

    I tested this scent because a friend considers it her holy grail. I won't join her in that sentiment. While I love incense scents, and this fragrance has a certain resin-herbal quality, it...

    All the descriptions make me want to love this, but as soon as I put this on all I can think of is Christmas trees. The elemi, which I love in some other fragrances, is just overwhelming. Too much...

    Think: Bethlehem, Church of the Nativity. A bearded priest with an incense swinger. Vespers, meditation, antiquity, reasonance, richness. But I totally love the way this smells, the sillage and...

    Starts as a bayberry candle, ends as a church incense, but with a musty edge that smells like old house. I love church incense, but I can certainly skip the old house. Must is not attractive or...

    Another great scent from Comme des Garcons. I'm definitely a sucker for incense scents, this is pure Catholic church. It's a pretty heavy scent but my absolute favourite. Pity it's so hard to find...

    I was hoping for more, I suppose. This is certainly an evocative scent, one that really brings me back to my Catholic school days! However, it remains a very flat wood scent on me. I don't even...

    Wow, this is a truly stunning fragrance. If you can get past the church associations and just experience it as a scent, it becomes even more amazing--cold, smoky, almost acrid at first...but then...
