    Totally, totally church incense! Close your eyes and it's time for Mass. I love the CdeG series. Hate the bottles, though--they look too much like bathroom air freshener!

    I´m not a fan of the CdG´s, because most of them smell a bit artificial to me. But this gem just knocked me off! Feeling in need of a true incense perfume, I decided to try...I´m not a Catholic...

    Wow, wow, wow!! I think this is the most wearable incense scent I have ever found! No headshoppy scent here, just a gorgeous, complex incense with a touch of sweetness. Surely the most feminine...

    This is a very faithful (no pun) rendition of church incense, very dry and less complex than many similar incense scents I'd prefer to wear. Nice, but not something I'd put on my person; better...

    If you love incense, you can't do much better than this series. Avignon is the type of incense I'm most familiar with, having not only walked into clouds of it in every cathedral in Europe, but...

    Absolutely beautiful fragrance. As other reviewers have commented, smells just like church incense. But in my opinion it's not very wearable. I'll enjoy smelling my sample, but I wouldn't want...

    In the biblical book of Exodus, there is a formula for making the sacred incense, and a prohibition against using the same formula as a personal fragrance. Avignon makes me think of that passage....

    Believe me I love the smell of church incense as much as the next person but who the hell would want to wear it? This is pure incense taken from the Catholic mass and that is where it should...

    Am I the only one getting juniper wood from this one? The drydown was almost pure juniper wood fire on me; it took me, not to a Catholic mass, but to the arctic region, long summer walks in the...

    Without going into detail of reasons why, I don't consider myself much of an incense wearer. But this...this is absolutely beautiful. A clean, smooth, warm but cool incense that I would...

    Absolutely breathtaking! This is such a warm, resinous fragrance. It reminds me of the Buddhist incense my parents would burn during gongyo prayers when I was growing up. They still burn it today,...

    The gentlest incense scent from CdG. There is something quiet and soothing about this fragrance: many have mentioned that this smells like the Catholic mass to them. I'm generally impressed with...

    I just received my shipment of CdG's Avignon today--invested in the full 50 ml bottle but also have tiny samples of the other 4 from the CdG Incense series, happily. Avignon has blown me away! ...

    Raised Catholic, I'm one of those greatly touched by this fragrance. It brings to mind the cathedral I served in as altar girl way back when, those days my friends and I used to be called last...

    Ancient wood, beeswax and incense, a venerable and well-loved cathedral or church. It is cool and dry but comforting and deep, spiritual and serene. A private pleasure - I wouldn't wear it to work....

    Having been raised Catholic and spent a few years of my early childhood in a Catholic school, Avignon is the smell of high mass. While I admire the craftsmanship of Avignon, I am interested in...

    This is my favorite incense scent. Having strayed into a church only a handful of times in my life, I do not get the instant association. However, I have been to the cathedral in Avignon with the...

    I adore this one. It's almost pure frankincense/myrrh with a bit of "tree" ~~black spruce maybe? and something sweet like coriander. I think they may have added a balsam for that warm woodsy...
