Preludio d'Oriente

Preludio d'Oriente is an incense perfume. A very intimate smoky resinous concoction. This immediately reminds me of Avignon by Comme des Garcons and Bois d'Encens by Armani. The incense is deep, velvety and enveloping.

This is a well crafted and high quality perfume. My only complaints are projection.
Sillage may be high, who knows and who cares right?
My chief concern is projection. If I'm wearing a perfume, its primarily for me to smell and if I'm wearing 30 sprays, as I am now!, I want to be able to constantly smell it. I do but why does it require 40 sprays to the chest/neck area to achieve this when it requires 15 to 20 for other perfumes? This explains why I call it intimate at the beginning of this article.

Is what you smell worth owning and spraying 30 sprays to smell it constantly?
Yes it is. I highly recommend this Preludio d'Oriente..
