Incense fragrances in general harmonize well with my body chemistry, and this is -along with CdG Avignon, Kyoto and Zagorsk , one of my favourites. A lovely, quiet & very wearable, slightly dry...

The opening is all myrrh and frankincense. To me, Dyptique's L'eau Trois now discontinued, to many it's CDG Avignon. Then comes a, thankfully, short-lived watery (read: aquatic) note (white...

Very very similar to Avignon for me but slightly warmer and a tad sweeter. I really liked it but in the end I prefer Avignon, whose lasting power is also a little better on me, though I have no...

A slightly warmer and more accessible version of Comme Des Garcons Avignon. They are too similar for me to justify the $150 price tag unfortunately. Cardinal notes: incense, cistus, grey amber,...

I have to agree with paschat: this is an incense scent. Dry woods and resins, with no sweet notes, close to Jailsalmer, but not as harsh; similiar to Messe de Minuit, but without the sweet licorice...

I like this it's different then scents I usually wear. Very animalistic and strong notes. I get a lot of incense in this. It's realxing in a way. You would get noticed wearing this, I must say...

Must be something wrong with my sniff! I don't get incense at all from this. The Cardinal is sitting in a sunny room with a bowl of apples and a glass of wine. Pleasant enough but not churchy. Viva...

The top note of Heeley's Cardinal perfume was an astringent dry, soap smell that rushed through my nose to the back to my throat. I truly felt like I was tasting soap. Cardinal was that pervasive...

BasiaS is right on the money with this - a watered down Avignon (maybe a bit drier and with more cedar). I already have (and love love love) Avignon, so I don't need this too (but I love my decant...

I love woody/incensey scents, and have been looking for the perfect incense scent for a long time. Most of them are too strong, too head-shoppy, or too abrasive. Cardinal is beautiful. I think...

I got a sample of this from Luckyscent, it is definitely a church incense scent. It does have a soapy (my son said, cleaning product) type smell in the top notes, (frankincense) but dries down...

Avignon for the weak. If like me, Avignon was too much for you, try this. If you thought Avignon was pretty, but you felt uncomfortable wearing it because it was too much (and you felt it wore...

Received a sample with my last order and fell in love immediately. If you love frankincense, as I do, you will adore this fragrance. This is one of the most wearable incense fragrances that I've...

BasiaS is right on the money. A very light leathery and incense scent that is totally not me, but it's a whole heckuva lot more me than than let's say, Jolie Madame, VIP room, Bandit edt (parfum in...

Cardinal is a sunnier, sweeter and lighter version of CdG's beloved Avignon, which makes it a beautiful fragrance but unnecessary if you already have Avignon. This is a must for those who love the...
