Incense and Mild Disappointment
An opening of lemon and pine (uncomfortably cleaning product adjacent) is joined by cypress after about 30 min. Eventually this fades to a slightly sweet woody incense and that’s where the fragrance sits for the rest of the 4-5 hour wear time.
I wanted so much to love this — it’s highly recommended, Heretic is one of my favourite houses, and the pyramid seemed right up my alley. But I was left just feeling a little…blah. It’s pleasant but utterly unremarkable on my skin, forgettable to the point where I had to repeatedly sniff my wrists throughout the day just to remind myself what I was wearing.
Admittedly, I’m not an incense superfan (with the exception of the chilly gothic Craft ) but it feels a little hollow and like something is missing, even though I can’t quite put my finger on what that might be.
Projection is very mild, longevity is on the shorter side of moderate, and gender is unisex.
