This has a strange opening - green and fecal. When I was a child, a long time ago (oh, shut up), we knew an old man who lived on the edge between Neverwhere and the Wilderness; he claimed he drank...

A very simple, uncomplicated jasmine soliflore which seems to last forever on my skin. I cannot detect any other note but jasmine all the way in its development. It has that distinct, indolic note...

This is the best, longest-lasting orange blossom that I've ever tried. Others turned out to be so fleeting. NK Zagara is powerful and spicy, which seems to be quite a feat for this fragrance...

A more sublime "Incense." Not as big as Incense, but better rendered IMO. It's sublime, understated, and an effective anti-floral fragrance. It's quite beautiful.

This is a good summer fragrance. Light and clean smelling, nothing too sharp. I get an aquatic, sand jasmine-y scent with the slightest hint of coconut. I find myself wishing the coconut was...

I was so excited to try Violette after I heard it described as a nice, hefty violet with presence, so I rushed to the Norma Kamali Boutique after work one day to have a sniff. What a disappoinment....

I love incense, but more to the point classic frankincense and myrrh combos. I understand that this relies heavily on copal which I am not that familiar with or like.

This is one incredible scent! I admit it has an acrid, nose-singeing opening - resinous, sharp, piercing - that makes this a very difficult scent to wear. Another reviewer described this scent as...

Norma Kamali is a very nice alpine / "piney" fragrance. It's very clean and very fresh. It's crisp like a windy 20-degree day. It is a distinct, unique composition. However, while it is a nice...

I love incense, but trial of scents like Norma Kamali Incense are helping me to bring context to my "love of incense". To my nose, Norma Kamali Incense is BITTER woods burning -- with some smoke...

This is a really lovely frankincense, labdanum, (& evergreen?) scent. I like it a lot, but it does remind me of quite a large number of other fragrances I own, like CdG Avignon, Bois d'Encens,...

OK, so I'm torn on this one.
Smells of: frankenscence, cedar
Lasting power: Fades on me after about 2 hours, but that's because I'm like a perfume sponge. Nothing lasts long on this...

I really like this scent. But be warned: it's not for everyone. Even my husband said I smelled like a campfire the first time I wore it. That being said...

My absolute favorite incense perfume! Much softer than CdG Avignon, it lacks the 'acrid' sour note that Avignon gets in the drydown on my skin, and also a certain 'musty' note.

I dont get so much fruit in this as other describes, what I get is true neroli. This is the one I’ve tried that come closest to the L’Artisan, (which has the same note, but is a little brighter,...

Expensive, yes, but this will last a long time. Resinous, and almost has the barest hint of the finest (not pickle-like) balsamic vinegar. Smoky, but not like tobacco. Not pine-like or herbal. ...

I like the presence it has! just put on few minutes ago, doesn't smell so innocent to me. a little later, softer w/ a teeny powder.. hmm, I want to bathe in it! would work for day or night,...

I don't like to be reminded of the after-life or funerals therefore I do not want to smell like a funeral parlour either. Very herbal and incensy and not for me at all.

Strong, acrid, dry, pungent, smoky, resinous- Norma Kamali Incense is a simple, but wonderful rendition of true, hot, burning, in-the-air, drop-resin incense. I am completely in love and smitten. ...
