Opens with a fresh and interesting accord of lemon and pepper. In 30 minutes it fades to a barely perceptible citrus, and is completely gone within an hour. Hideous bottle.

I love the Comme de Garcons Incense series...except for this one: Ouarzazate is the most feminine and sweetest of the bunch. If you want a "your skin but sweeter" incense scent, this is your best...

A little sweeter and a little warmer than the others in the Incense series (not counting the "hot" Jaisalmer), but still not very sweet. I find it a lot like Kyoto, especially in the drydown....

A delicious, spicy scent that promised to be the best of the Incense series at first. However it's gone in less than half an hour, so I would definitely not buy FB. Jaisalmer and Avignon are my...

Actually smells "hot" when first applied, very spicy, with a dozen scents coming straight at you at once. But this one was gone, literally undetectable on me within 5 minutes. I hate it when that...

The citrus and clary sage opening is lovely and I thought that this was going to be the most office friendly of the Cdg Incense series so far. Unfortunately it had no staying power unlike the...

Initially this has a dry citrus tang, then it gets a bit sweeter with more herbal overtones. Its interesting....I think better than Kyoto, but its not me.

Am working my way slowly through the Incense Series, this being my second one. For me, it is an OK fragrance, not offensive but it is definitely no FB for me. Maybe it's me but the CdGs don't...

More herbal, yet still incensey. It reminds me of some of the sage-based incenses.

This fragrance is a bit softer with less of a "burnt" incense smell than the others I've tried in the series. To me, it perfectly captures the odor of burning sage sticks that are common in the...

Hot, dry, woody and spicy, with my favourite note, cedarwood, present from start to finish, along with the incense, pepper and herbs. I barely notice the clary sage, though; it adds a bit of a...

JennyB writes a good description, but I think I like this better than she. I definitely get the clary sage / incense combo from this. Smelling it makes me feel all sacred and earthy. I'm not...

So grateful to the MUAer who sent me this as a freebie!! Having been to Ouarzazate (my husband is Moroccan), I can honestly say that this reminds me of my time in Morocco. For a mental picture,...

Packaging isn't the reason I buy a fragrance, although it may be a reason not to buy it. The incense series is in a clean, minimal packaging suited for the content. Ouarzazate is a high wind on a...

Quartzazate is like a draft of cool air blowing across a large chunk of quartz mineral in a spacious underground sacred chamber. Clean, different.

I'm realizing that I dislike sour notes in fragrances, and Ouarzazate falls short of being full bottle lemming-worthy because of a very tangy topnote. I think of lemon & herbs...perfect marinade...

Ouarzazate had several things going for it from the very start as far as I was concerned - it was a CdG and I'm always predisposed to like their scents, I can't resist saying the name and it is the...

Cool, refreshing citrus-woods-incense fragrance. The initial scent of pepper is not overwhelming in any way: this may be one of the softest pepper fragrances I've tried, thanks to a lovely clary...

This is a pleasant enough unisex fragrance. It is a new area for me, as it is my first incense fragrance. I don't smell much incense, but I think it must be different from the East Indian variety...
