Prunol incense
Pure Incense demonstrates a prune-like darkness, a sort of balancing act between bitter and sweet that is almost edible. It makes my mouth water. The panforte-like bitterness recalls the sticky ‘burnt hydrocarbon’ of Norma Kamali’s Incense but without the sometimes stomach-churning dirtiness. The mix of frankincense, myrrh, copal, and elemi creates a resin stew that shifts constantly between herbal (bay leaf), spicy (cinnamon, clove), dusty, sticky, smoky, piney, and balsamic. If you are Catholic, one sniff of this will bring you to your knees. Recommended to fans of the original Norma Kamali Incense, Tom Ford Sahara Noir, and Sonoma Scent Studio Incense Pure.
