Weirdly blended incense fragrance
I'm definitely not a fan of incense related fragrance so I'm not the best person to review them. I will say I've smelled my fair share of them during my journey and I think the score reflects well how this one smells (6.1/10 at the time of this review). I've smelled smoother and better blended one that this.

First thing: the beginning of this fragrance has an odd citric, almost acidic scent to it that isn't the best. It mingles with the frankincense at the top to give it a weird mix of citric, incense, smoky, resinous accord. Very off-putting and screechy. As it moves on, I start sensing how it smoothens out a bit due to the appearance of the florals in the middle notes. Roses are sweet while cistus offers some woodiness and sweetness. Incense is still present at that point. In the drydown, I start getting some spiciness with woodiness and subtle / subdued sweetness. It starts to settle into a resinous scent.

It's just so weirdly blended and generally not the best thing i've smelled. The notes all seem to clash aginst each other and they're not as smooth as I've smelled in other incense fragrances. This one is a hard nope for me.

Ancestral Fragrance
Amber, incense and ancestral notes: Christos takes us back in time, to rituals of another era.
The opening is pungent, hard, with a very strong and ever-present amber, which is enriched by incense, by the labdanum that accompanies a dark rose, giving truly particular scents.
I think it is the most particular and elaborate fragrance of the line, it has a magnificent evolution and it is absolutely worth trying, a truly interesting olfactory experience.

Tea tree spirit
This is probably one of those perfumes that drive people crazy because of how different they're perceived. I've seen a lot of comments mentioning suffocating amber and as someone sensitive to certain amber/ambergris/ambroxan components I was cautious about this one. Thankfully the feared ambro-migraine didn't occur because I couldn't smell any.

The description of a fragrance promises us a rich, complex scent. And it is indeed quite intense and long-lasting, no disappointment here. Sadly I didn't get any complexity whatsoever, the scent was super linear, staying exactly the same throughout the day. And the worst thing - I couldn't get any of the promised notes. Instead I got a strong scent of essential oils, tea tree oil to be exact. Maybe some hint of eucalyptus oil on top, but that's it.

I cannot exactly explain this phenomenon, as usually I'm able to to discern at least some of the listed notes. The scent overall isn't exactly unpleasant, but tea trea oil is way cheaper if I ever fancy smelling like it.

I dont expect much from Giardini di Toscana.
It's not horrible, nor great. A simple incense scent that doesn't fit the importance of the name. You could imagine "Christos" being a super evocative scent, well, it isn't. It's the safer incense scent I've ever tried - so, quite boring. No complexity. No particular evolution. It quite stays the same. Lasts long, tho.

I rightfully prepare for the club…
… what do I wear? I’m in a suit, with a white shirt and black leather shoes. I’ve left the first three buttons of the shirt undone, and my black chest hair is peeking out. I haven’t shaved either, and the three-day stubble is present as well. And then I see him shyly standing in the corner of the shelf, bearing the pious name “Christus.” I take the bottle and apply the fragrance, and wow, there’s nothing pious about this. And off to the club.

Upon applying this fragrance, the first thing that hits the nose is a citrusy smoky amber note. This has a slight floral quality with a certain sweetness. The citrus fades away and is replaced by something resinous, woody, slightly peppery, and a light vanilla twist. Before a proper slap of smoky amber comes a deep dark accord that makes this perfume masculine and mature.

The longevity and sillage are very good.

I cannot understand the partly poor reviews; this is true niche. Everyone is shouting for it, and when it finally arrives, the fragrance gets criticized.

Here we have a fragrance launched as unisex, but I see its strong masculine aspect much more suited for gentlemen than for ladies. But as always, my dear ladies, try it out for yourselves. Since this fragrance has a very mature character, I would say it’s suitable for those 25 years and older. For me, this perfume can be worn all year round. During the day, it makes a “Bella figura” in a suit, in jeans with a shirt and blazer, or even sporty. In the evening, it works just as well in a tuxedo at a concert, in the theater or opera, as well as casually at dinner, in a pub, or even in a club.

If you enjoy a citrusy smoky floral sweet resinous woody peppery dark amber-vanilla scent, you are exactly right here with this house, and all at an acceptable price.

Weird citric/acid incense mixed with patchouli, roses and an amber drydown. Smoky, resinous, spicy and floral. Not the best.

Oh God no, that was awful. I opened all the windows. I can't even describe the scent because I almost threw up.

Rosa + Patchi have a secret date in the old chapel. They feel their way through the thick incense fog. But the evil Ambrox has discovered them.

Frankincense, woods, pepper. Sounds dull? But it’s not, thanks to a wonderfully milky-sweet counterpart. I didn’t see that coming!

Just one spray from the original sample on my hand, brrrr. A weapon of mass destruction, just Amber Extreme, this should be banned. Nose breaker!

Wow, this one is terrible. I don't know what I'm smelling, but it's extremely heavy and chaotic.

The scent that not only makes you smell good but also turns you into the anointed one of Tuscany - the halo comes free of charge.
