Incense
"Devotion" also signifies dedication, indicating a sacred scent, confirmed by part of the listed ingredients.
Aside from oud, leather, tea, ambrette, and vanilla, all the ingredients are suitable for a "proper" incense in a sacred space or for an esoteric session.
And this promise is fulfilled by the "House of Matriarch" with the fragrance "Devotion".
"Devotion" starts off smoky and bitter. Strong aromatic wood notes spread out, as the sillage of "Devotion" is very pronounced and does not allow for the simultaneous testing of a second fragrance. I also smell patchouli, which must not be missing in such a scent.
A strong mixture of incense made from myrrh, frankincense resin, opoponax, and other potent incense ingredients and harsh resins prevents any softer scents from breaking through the dense fragrance clouds.
Not only is the sillage very strong, but the longevity leaves nothing to be desired if you enjoy such fragrances.
How strong would "Devotion" be in sillage if it weren't for the added notes of oud, amber, ambrette seeds, and tea?
"Devotion" stands as a fragrance within minutes and maintains its intensity for a long time. It is indeed a very strong incense scent that is not too smoky and does not smell like stale incense in a damp old building.
"Devotion" smells like an instrument maker's workshop where precious woods and very valuable resins and varnishes are worked with.
I like clear incense scents. That's why I appreciate "Devotion" in its uncompromising nature.
A unisex fragrance for all who enjoy woody scents and incense.

Dark green-smoky scent with strong leather and oud notes. Later softened by a hint of vanilla. Exciting, but not really wearable for me.

Beautifully resinous but not sacred, more green and spicy. It really has something of a spice tea. Neat, gets a bit sharp.

Harmonious incense-myrrh scent that could have more edges and character for me. For fans of the direction who like it submissive and gentle.

Clear and bright, sweet and warm. Incense in a different way, like a cozy scent. Like a pastel green stole made of fine cashmere wool.

Pleasant incense scent with a green-spicy tea note and a hint of warm ambered vanilla. Wellness vibe.

Frankincense with oriental-gourmand tendencies. Very finely balanced. Incredibly well crafted. And underneath, I sense a HoM amber DNA.
