    I totally love this fragrance. I had been looking fir a strong incense perfume, which is not easy to find and ended up buying Gypsy Water by Byredo, which has some incense notes, but is nit very...

    Hi, I just got the Bois d'Encens yesterday. I bought it for my husband on e bay, got it sent to South Africa. I'm always on the search for wow! perfumes. He was never much into perfumes, "aagh!...

    Any scent with wood and incense in the name is a must-try for me. Bos d'encens gives you exactly that: wood and incense. I get a very sharp cedarwood at first, with hints of pinetree, I really like...

    Bois d'Encens is a truly beautiful fragrance. Imagine being in a cedar-wood built temple in Asia surrounded by incense. The incense is not heavy or smothering at all, but rather light and...

    It pains me to give this a three. If this damn blasted thing would show up for more than four seconds; literally four, even if I had to spray it on clothing, where for some reason it still doesn't...

    Everyone has pretty much said what I think. Burning leaves, yes. Woods, yes. Peppery, yes. Churchy, sure. It reminds me of burning pinion wood. And it definately reminds me of fall or winter....

    This is such a dissappointment. I don't smell any woods *at all* - as a matter of fact, all I get is cold, sharp Frankincense. I have a bottle of straight Frankincense from the perfumer's...

    Well, well, well. Of all the Armani Privé scents I've smelled to date (Pierre de Lune, Rose Alexandrie, Cuir Amethyste), Bois d'Encens definitely has the biggest personality. It opened with a...

    Bois d' Encens... I adore incense -- seriously, it's my favorite note for a fall/winter scent, so upon receiving a reco to try this, I could not wait. My first impression: Bois d'Encens took...

    I just sprayed myself with this in Saks. It is definitely an incense scent, but not as potent or harsh as some of the others out there. Very peppery to me, especially in the initial stage. If it...

    This is glorious frankincense (and doesn't turn chocolatey on me like Avignon did), but as a Catholic, I feel a bit sacrilegious about wearing something that smells so much like church. I'd rather...

    This is the smell of my childhood basement in late fall. The aroma of crispy leaves burning in contained piles wafts through the window as I hit a Spaudling against a cement wall. An old rug lays...

    I have to amend my previous review. I did a series of tests on this up against my fave incensy fragrnace which WAS Avignon and some others. This tops them all,and is now my HG of incense and my...

    WOW! My instant reflex is to genuflect. If you like Avignon, this is quite similar,but without the sillage or staying power. The cost is higher, too. I don't get any woods in this-just incense.I...

    I don't own the full size of this but plan on it maybe as a christmas present to myself. I received the 4 samples of the Prive line of scents and I must say I'm in love. @ first sniff I didn't like...

    The first two times I sampled Bois d'Encens I was not impressed. Not bad, just nothing that really grabbed me and for $185. I want to be grabbed, embraced and possibly end up swinging from...

    Also known as the "Onyx" of the Armani Privé Luxe Quartet, due to the black stone that serves as a cap to the bottle, Bois d'Encens is a lovely, refined incense scent. It is a light, tingly...
