Copal Azur Aedes de Venustas 2014

Is it a smoky aquate? A salty myrrh scent? Or that of a luxurious spa? Somehow all of it - and in the best possible way.

I smelled the fragrance during my quest for the perfect spring incense in the store and was immediately captivated by its uniqueness. By now, I have experienced many incense scents - from camphor-like incense such as "King Cobra," to bright church incense like "LAVS," opulent Christmas cinnamon smoke like "Notre Dame Notte di Natale," metallic resin like "Moon Dust" or Andrea Maack’s "Craft," to pine-like incense such as "La Liturgie des Heures," and even the sootiest dark smoke from Beaufort. But this one occupies a niche that was previously unknown to me. Currently, it is number 1 on my wishlist as a fresh, salty spring incense.
