The perfect fragrance for winter !!
I don't know where to start, such this fragrance is... Sublime.
With this Vert d'Encens, it's almost Christmas before its time.
One of my favorites from the prestigious Private Blend collection.
This fragrance is close to unique in many ways.
Green, woody, resinous, mystic, smoky, fascinating, addictive...
Probably one of my favorite scents if not my favorite for fall/winter.
All the notes are perfectly mixed and are at no time disgusting.
An enchanting opening, such a warm, resinous pine.
An hour later settles a sweetness and smoke of disturbing precision.
To finish with a beautiful incense on a background of green fir... Fascinating.
A long drying ensues which lasts, which lasts...
Longevity for at least 8 hours on me, with a moderate or even powerful sillage, and this is enough because more would have been unsightly for my taste.
An almost magical scent, not for novices, which some sensitive noses might put off.
There is almost a mystic side to this fragrance.
This juice reminds me of a glass of Absinthe, like the one tasted by Inspector Abberline (Johnny Depp) in From Hell (2001), or even the red embers of a gentle fire slowly being consumed...
The best of the 3 Vert for me.
We are no longer here in the presence of a simple perfume, but rather a beautiful elixir.
It transports you from one place to another, as if you were traveling with a closed eyes...
Vert d'Encens? A contemplative treasure.
A fragrance that will make you feel good, near a fireplace, warm, relaxed, savoring your glass of Hennessy.
One regret however... Mr Ford, why did you discontinued this gem???
We do not give up the Holy Grail.
My rating: 10/10

Vert d'Encens
Incense spectacular, green, balsamic, and even an earthy tint, original without doubt, had not smelled such a green and natural incense until now, simply amazing.

The exit is green green, where you can see the fir and pine with an amazing naturalness, it is like when you place the Christmas tree and after having been touching the branches and needles, you smell your hands, and that green and natural smell that gets impregnated, it's what it smells like to me. This beginning lasts a sigh, and at the moment the incense and resins appear, sweetening the green notes, which do not disappear after this beginning, recreating a green, very natural aroma, with a precious resinous sweetness, in which they begin to distinguish the first blows of a spectacular incense. Gradually the green notes begin to decay and the incense takes possession of the aroma, which, together with the resins and a very delicate floral reflection, speak of the East and its stories, offering us a sweetly resinous and fragile floral fragrance with a veil beautiful background woody. In its final phase the wood feels more, feeling a resinous incense on a woody background, almost dusty, fine, elegant and full of mystery.

Very good performance, in skin it is maintained for more than 8 or 9 hours with few sprays, its wake is moderate high at the beginning and then it goes to moderate, and although it is not exaggerated, it marks presence very dignified. As for its use, I see it more appropriate for cold and temperate seasons and for the night, although it would also not fall apart on a cool winter or autumn morning.

It has been a perfume that I loved, with a magnificent quality, but with an important tare, its price, although, if you can afford it, the perfume is highly recommended, but, if not, you better not smell it, because You'll want to have it and it really hurts your pocket hehehe.

Resinous - fresh aromatic - terpenic
Vert d'Encens is an amusing incense, that presents serious face of smoke mixed with jovial floral notes. The core still carries floral and newly cut woody tone, uplifted with a comfortable catholic coniferous incense. The only thing I obsess is this perfume verges to ambiance odor rather to be a personal fine fragrance, which is a common feature in all members of Les Extraits Vert.

Green and sophisticated
Vert D'Encens is very similar to what I remember Imaginary Authors' Cape Heartache smells like, except you replace the strawberry with whatever the sweet note in Vert D'Encens is (heliotrope?).

I found the strawberry note in Cape Heartache far too synthetic and I get a tiny bit of that with Vert D'Ecens, but I am really digging this juice nonetheless and will likely buy a full bottle when I can get my hands on it.

Vert D'Encens starts off far more green to my nose than Vert Des Bois. After a short period the green notes mellow out and you are left with a incense, woods, and the sweet note.

A really delicious scent. Not as heavy on the incense and green notes as you would expect given the name. This might disappoint some people, but I think this makes Vert D'Encens wearable year round.

a punch in the stomach
... that's how I felt spaying this on my wrist. The camphoric beast hit my nose in the opening ... so powdery (dusty) and sweet it made my nostrils burn and my stomach churn. Also this TF has huge projection and silage and one small spray won't give you a break for quite some time. In other words, although I rarely really dislike a perfume, I am sorry to write that Vert d' Encens is a scrubber for me. It does settle to a sweet dusty liturgical green (still camphor to my nose) but it is so overly perfumy that it screams. Thanks, but no thanks.

I am in a forest. Pines, firs, citruses in the opening. Then there is lavender, jasmine, spiced with cardamon. Everything covered in incense

I'm blown away how good the green incense blends with the heliotrope. Smooth and refined, must have for coniferous and incense scents lovers

If you’re looking for a woodsy scent, with some sweetness/smokiness, then this would be a very good buy.

In the morning in the forest. I walk through freshly mown meadows and enjoy the tranquility of the pine woods. A chapel invites to the service. Beautiful!
