A smoky chapel on a sunny day
Contrary to what I expected after my first experience, this has really grown on me. I never was a big fan of vanilla, but this is a very nice take on that theme.
The opening is very 'in your face', especially when sprayed on the neck or somewhere close to the nose. But it soon turns into a warm and smooth scent. The cypress becomes very apparent and the incense gives it a full bodied smokiness without becoming too overpowering. Most incense perfumes give me the image of a dark and smoky church, but this one makes me feel as if I'm in a small chapel somewhere in the Provence, where the hot sun warms the stone of the church and the wind blows in the air over the cypresstrees. Very beautiful! And to think I wasn't sure about this one at first.
It also layers well with Encre Noire, creates an interesting scent. Especially when it's fully dried down, you get a very warm and almost creamy like vanilla, very full bodied. But I prefer Eau des Baux without the dark and dirty vetiver of Encre Noire.
