Agree with the "woody-marine". Not my fav Tauer but a great incense. Crisp and delicate. A sort of incense-cologne with a unique personality

Starts with hot dry wood, gradually changes into cold incense. This coolness is amazing & pleasant. Remarkable development!

Dreamy frankincense

Absolutely gorgeous frankincense fragrance. It does justice to the B. serrata essential oil, which is the variety I believe he said he used. The fragrance is sharp and woody, makes me feel like I'm in the mountains, in a vast forest of blonde woods and craggy rocks, and the sun is shining so bright it blinds me. In my mind it smells like ancient Sparta. My only "complaint" is that the name should really refer more specifically to frankincense, as "incense" as a general term makes me think of a head shop. This is not smoky at all, and there is no sweetness whatsoever. I think the orris in here helps to smooth things out, so that the frankincense isn't even more sharp than it could be. This stuff is amazing. There is nothing about it I would want to change, so it's a 10/10 for me.

Not a favorite for me...

Begins very musty, like the closet of an old priest. It must be the frankincense that brings back flooding memories of Sunday mass. The frankincense fades and mellows as the life of the fragrance progresses. More underlying spices come through. Very green and woodsy comes up, also. Nutmeg and the coriander as mentioned in the notes. It mellows really nicely becoming more pleasant as the time passes. For me just a bit too heavy with the frankincense all along.

The probably greenest incense

Andy Tauers fragrances are usually quite special - among his creative and often surprising creations none has ever been there for me before. Although I have always been able to appreciate the high quality, something has always bothered me about the people I've tested. But when I was in Verona that summer, I naturally had to visit a perfumery and after extensive chatting and testing I took Incense Extrême home with me. I even wore the fragrance at temperatures above 30 degrees and enjoyed the special interpretation of incense.

This is in fact the greenest one can imagine. I know of other fragrances that go in this direction (Olibanum from Profumum Roma, Sancti - Eau Delà, Italian Citrus), but none has ever had such a planty quality. Besides the CO2-extrate of Boswellia serrata, especially coriander and some petitgrain contribute to this effect. This means that Incense Extrême is less smoky and more ethereal and resinous than citrus nuances. The dryness and pungency that incense can often have are not to be found here in any case. Only the woods, which become more noticeable with time, make the fragrance a little drier after all. I cannot filter out ambergris. In contrast to many other creations by Andy Tauer, Incense Extrême is relatively simple and linear, yet quite powerful and long-lasting
It was the first scent of him that I wanted to wear, but after only a few times I noticed that he was too individual for me after all. In my opinion, incense can be a little darker and the strong green side - especially the coriander - made me wonder when I would find it suitable. I'm not a collector, so I was allowed to move on with my bottle.

Standstill

An abandoned porch somewhere in the southern states. The white varnish on the railing has flaked off and gives a clear view of the naked wood. A rocking chair, tanned by the weather and collapsed into itself, stands on the battered floorboards. There's a pile of old tires in the back corner. A metal jug, carelessly parked a long time ago. The pitch used to seal the planks has long since dried up.

The sun flirts.
