For my incense treasure chest
Thanks to the sharing of Arran I came to this fragrance. 20 ml - I realized relatively quickly that this would probably last my whole life... Because Bois d'Encens is a fragrance that I want to wear exclusively for myself. Home when I feel like it. Otherwise it will be locked away and stored in my personal treasure chest.
As already described by other perfumers, Bois "frightens" D'Encens at the start with fresh, almost ethereal pepper. You think Blackpepper from CdG is violent? Test this one! After that, the stage undoubtedly belongs to incense.
But while the wonderful Copal Azur, for example, interprets incense rather maritime, Kyoto is modern and bright, or Vert d'Encens abducts you into an incense-fogged forest, Bois d'Encens takes the straight path without interpretations or gimmicks. This is incense! Directly from the priest's cauldron, sacred, highly spiritual and at the same time coolly distanced. I literally feel the cold stone of the church and hear in my head the monks murmuring like prayers. A special head cinema, which has hardly triggered a scent in this form for me so far.
With the hours the incense loses some depth, becomes (probably by the Vetiver) brighter and more pointed. But we're not leaving the church.
One can interpret his straightforwardness as boredom. Or deny him the suitability for everyday use on the basis of his spirituality. For me, Bois d'Encens is pure fascination and the perfect complement to my small but fine incense collection. Now I am still missing a floral interpreted incense (I am grateful for tips!), then I have made my olfactory peace with this topic. Amen.
*UPDATE, 17.07.18*
After a good week of testing, I have to conclude: What Morgul hints at in his answer here corresponds absolutely to my new impressions - even at the current temperatures he is much finer and more suitable for everyday use than I originally felt. I wear it now more often when I leave the house and it seems to me almost as if the fresh air does the scent totally good. The pepper note remains longer, but becomes milder with every hour. Together with the vetiver, light incense plus an ethereal note remains, which appears noble and reminds a little of a high-quality SPA. Impressive
