Pizza Verdure
"Incense Oud" starts off with a deep and spicy woody blast that bears a note which is reminiscent of solvents. Unfortunately, the soothing opening dissipates far too soon and the fragrance remains linear for the rest of its presence. Although rose is listed as a heart note, I am not really able to detect any of it. Admittedly, I not familiar with"omani incense" either, so I cannot pass any proper judgement on whether it is present in this perfume or not. In any case, this is neither a churchy, nor a head shop type of incense. Patchouli, cypriol a mushroomy oud/wood accord take the lead in "Incense Oud", with the occasional herbal and spicy note flaring up in the background. If you are looking for something very animalic or tartly medicinal, you will not find it here.
To my nose, this mostly comes across very vegetal, like roasted green peppers, eggplants and olives. Not an unpleasant scent but it evokes all the wrong associations for me (Pizza Verdure). Performance is satisfying.

An introspective, deep journey
An introspective, deep journey back to the magic of the oriental mood: green and spicy opening, given by absinthe, and we know very well its function as an "artificial paradise" and a source of inspiration for artists, above all my beloved Baudelaire.
Notes of incense and Oud (not animalic, but delicate and fine), together with sweet, almost gourmand notes, arise and make this journey even more oneiric.
Immersive, light and elegant, Nicolai is a brand that never fails.
Usable always, for something different and original.

A linear oud with a squeaky green quality. Soapy isn't my favorite genre but this isn't astringent. Probably best for layering.

Clean oud with incense, as expected, but also a clean bar soap smell with sweet vegetative growth. Soapy, leafy, charred wood chips.

Interesting green herbal opening. Pleasant beaver-waxy resinous base. The oud note adds nothing but discord. Such a pity.
