Cold incense

The Saffron opens up fighting for attention with the Cardamom. After they calm down, enters the black wrapper in Incense.

It's a nice fragrance for sure, but the impression I have is that all notes are pointing to the same direction; all sharp, cold, and spicy. It feels like some sweet is lacking to counterbalance things a bit, as it's super dry.

You need to be in the mood to wear it. I can't find a lot of occasions where I would spray it 3 or 4 times before going (I'm 40 yo/M). For the time being, it will remain as a fragrance for my notes explorations and learning and less for real use.

I could not find smaller samples before buying, but I highly recommend you try it before getting a bottle.

petrified woods

this opens with an ambery slightly resinous opening with a creamy labdanum and elemi. There’s not a lot of saffron or cardamom to my nose.

You get more of those resins in the heart of this paired with an aromatic black pepper and an earthy cypriol oil. It’s slightly smoky too.

The dry down of this is where it really shines. It’s a deep woody scent with smooth warm cashmere. The wood here feels smoked, like a petrified wood. With warm smoothness too it. I will say you lose all the previous notes here as it really just smells like pure wood with smooth warmth but I enjoy that. It’s a simple woody scent that works.

Italian summer morning

Smells like the typical sunday morning of almost every italian 12 year-old when our moms would drag us to morning mass and make us sit in the front row. The incense would terrorize my nostrils back then, but now it's such a beautiful nostalgic smell.

Sacreste starts off very liturgical but later develops into a more woodsy forest-like incense that reminds me a little of Aesop Hwyl. Lasting power & projection are both moderate. Overall it's not very unique, but still a solid choice if you're looking for an incense centered fragrance, especially for the price point!

Chilled pine incense, basic yet sophisticated

This is a VERY good cold incense scent with a pine flair. It's reminiscent of Lavs by Filippo Sorcinelli but less soapy. Could be a great everyday scent for any incense lover, it's very versatile and not offensive, slightly smoky, quite woody, pleasant and suitable for office. I could see myself reaching for this scent on the days when I don't feel the energy to choose a complicated perfume but still want to smell great. This feels like an easy wear.

Images from the Stained Glass of the Small Church

The hatch of my attic faces west. Sleeping, it stares at the blind stained glass of the small church. It is my window to the perception of the world. In the morning, the rays of the deep sun shimmer in it, dazzling my gaze as the color sparks begin to flicker, silhouettes swim sharp as camphor at the edges of the glass, pepper bursts powdery like dust in the light, fresh fennel flutters citrusy-woodsy over the walls of my attic, incense wobbles like water reflections through the chamber, droplets of bright resin dance before my eyes, ice blue, yellow and green, everything is still a cool kaleidoscope of bright clouds rolling through misty mountain forests.
Soon the stars rise higher, the images in the stained glass become denser, knotty riverbed herbs mix with the fog, which now flickers darker through the chamber, dim and Somali sharp.
The planet now turns the stained glass further, the images within grow warmer, woods rise in the drizzling fog of incense, first cedars, before later the evening amber in the west paints the walls of the chamber and reddish light breaks through the stained glass onto earthy-balsamic guaiac beams. Now the sacristan has opened the church doors to the west, and the red rays of amber fall horizontally into my world.
**
With "Sacreste," Luca Maffei ("1..1" by Nobile 1942, "Odori d'Anima - Archetipo" by Mendittorosa) has created an incense fragrance that initially presents itself bright and sharp, but soon descends increasingly into reddish warm, resinous depths, without losing its peppery sharpness or becoming sweet. The projection is rather strong for the first hour before the scent retreats closely, where it remains well perceivable for me for another seven to eight hours.

Starts with strong bright citrusy elemi and just a bit of cardamom. Later on more frankincense joins. And that's all. Nice, poor projection

and peppery, with green nuances.
I like it.

Sacred incense, cold church. Warms up quickly, stays light-woody, dust-dry, without being sweet. Not too loud. Beautiful.

One of the most beautiful incense scents,
delicately intertwined with woody-spicy elements.
Mysterious... initially bright-silvery, then darker over time.
