Neither incense nor water
Neither incense nor water. It opens with a luridly green, fruity top note that I later identify as raspberry leaf, followed by a syrupy rose-patchouli affair that quickly dries up, crumbling to a fine talcum powder. Incense Water is both really nice and really redundant. If you own even a smidgen of Portrait of a Lady (Malle), L’Extase Rose Absolue (Nina Ricci), or Isparta (Pierre Guillaume), then you are amply covered for this kind of thing. Having said that, the powderiness of Incense Water is really enjoyable.
