The only incense perfume I'll ever wear!
Excellent sillage, projection, and staying power. Magnolia and amber (my nose also picks up an orange-y note for some reason) soften and deepen the incense so that it's feminine and sexy as well.

Created by the same nose who's also behind incredible fragrances like Laguna, Dalissime, Black XS, Mira-Bai, and My Givenchy Dream.

One of its kind...

Mr. Pastor, I know what!
It's not about me informing our pastor that the light is on in the bathroom and that I turned it off. We rarely stray into any churches, having fallen away from faith and become atheists, despite a Protestant and Jewish background (the latter very far back). However, if we do find ourselves in a church, it is usually because our youngest is playing in the orchestra or we have been invited to a baptism. A toxic look from the pastor. But I would love to place the holy incense stick on the completely ethereal, or rather, very discreet pastor's wife, so that she at least smells a little holy.
When the magnolia hits, one could cover up the fact that it always smells a bit strange in the house of God! And with this incense stick scent, it might be possible to keep the woodworms, which are diligently dancing in the church's timber, at bay. It doesn't smell like burnt sticks, but like those that crumble between the fingers.
I believe they don't wave around incense in Protestant churches. That's what the Catholics do. Or the Russian Orthodox priests? The priests always run around with a smoking pot.
There is plenty of incense here!
Kids, what a SCENT this is! The base is creamy and a bit rough-powdery.
I will soon use this to chase away the Jehovah's Witnesses. They show up here every 4 weeks. There must be a nest somewhere. It's always 2 women. I'll spray it under their skirts! I need a 100 ml bottle!

Facts.
Dear Ms. Lav, dear Ms. Maharanhi,

It's not that I wouldn't want to give you my full trust, after your rather detailed, albeit somewhat contradictory comments, but as is well known, a check is always better anyway.
So, the incense is your point of contention, the crux of the matter, the innards of the incense smoker.
Dear Ms. Lav, I am (for now) on your side. This incense is green, it practically bursts forth in the parish garden among all the fragrant flowers and plants, and that is anything but solemn and certainly not holy.
However, I do agree with Ms. Maharanhi regarding the accurate incense stick forecast; they are indeed in an unlit state.
Ultimately, I come to the conclusion for myself: The combination of churchyard mustiness and floral sex is simply too much of a good thing. A few spices would have done this perfume a world of good.

I certainly do not want to settle your little disagreement with this letter, because nothing governs better than a divided camp. :)
Best regards, your Ms. L.

dear Lolita, as requested...
...Holy Champa I have had for a few years now and I haven't found another that resembles it. The number of fragrance notes is manageable and not extremely rare, but the scent is (for me) unique.
Neroli opens with a shower of blossoms; whether magnolia is involved, I can't say, as I don't know how magnolia smells. Neroli is familiar to me. After just a few minutes, the light floral quality of the neroli is joined by the heavy floral scent of jasmine, making the fragrance heavier. Amber and incense come in softly and add a creaminess to it. The final stage, which lasts at least 8 hours for me, is a creamy, floral scent that is very feminine and erotic. Not animalistic! The erotic aspect is really more of a feminine, rounded creaminess like flowers in cream, not delicious but sensuously soft...
that's all from me. Dear Maharanih, I pass it on to you; o))
