The initial blast is peppery, and then a watery lily note starts to emerge. The incense is subtle and carefully done, just a single trail of scent rising up to the nose. It adds just a touch of...

Passage d'Enfer perfectly balances dark and light notes--warm incense on one hand and bright, soapy lilies on the other. Because of the way the florals lighten it, it doesn't strike me as...

This one was really dissapointing. I had really high hopes for it from the notes and the description.I'm extremely sure that it's a thing of personal chemistry because although the first notes are...

For over 1 year, I have received Passage d'Enfer as a reco from the MUA fragrance board as a scent with a prominent incense note. Got to be honest, the translation of the name Passage d'Enfer...

This is one of the few L'Artisans I actually can and do wear, and I adore it. Although Passage d'Enfer is one of those "incense" fragrances, there is only a barely detectable incense note on me (as...

I've only ever tried one other incense-based scent (CdG Kyoto), but I really liked it and wanted to try more. Enter Passage d'Enfer. On me, it's a cedar-y fragrance w/ a semi-sharp soapy note to it...

Passage d'Enfer has an almost ethereal quality for me....an echo of a gray and rainy day in a stone church in Wordsworth's Lake District. It is also the only scent I've tried that can instantly...

It's funny. I know this was on my list of my top 25 favorite perfumes, but I could not tell you what its ranking was. In fact, I'm not altogether certain that it *was* on the list. ::thinking:: ...

Unique - I was speechless when I first smelled this. The cardamom, lily and aloe (oud) is fascinating, spicy, exotic, yet very detached at the same time. Not a first date scent unless you wish to...

I adore this scent. I find it complex and contradictory. It is a cool, grey morning with the smoke of last night's fire in the air. Dry but evokes damp stones; clean but smoky; permeating...

On the right person this could be really special. Unfortunately it was just an odd, funky, soapy scent on me as described by previous reviewers. I may be biased on lily since I am very much in love...

I'm so disappointed!!! Based on all the reviews--incense (and the great name alone!!) --how could you go wrong?? Well, you can. Glad I only got a sample--smells like soap on me--I get no...

YES, this I've decided is one of my faves. I like incense, and at heart am still a bit of a goth though I discarded my black lace and fishnets long ago. I still hankered after a dark incensey scent...

Luckyscent was right- passage d'enfer is the cold, cold marble of an abandoned something amid a field of wildflowers on a cool summer day. Inexplicably, some lilies are lurking behind a column....
