good perfume, bad person
i bought this perfume like a year ago, before it came out that sdw was a weirdo edgelord. if i had known that, i would not have bought it, but since i have it, i can say that i really do love it. ideal sweet incense scent, it feels so cozy and warm without being overly sweet. will not be buying again for obvious reasons but dreading running out because i don't know that i will find one that i like quite as much

I received a sample of this and honestly I am so disappointed, I love incense scents but this smells like a cheap incense from Urban Outfitters that was left in a mouldy warehouse for years… Luckily for me I suppose it doesn’t last long, but for an eau de parfum with these notes I would have expected it to at least last longer than 90 minutes.

If you’re looking for a good sweet incense fragrance try Encens Suave by Matiere Premiere instead, it’s a beautiful fragrance with great projection and surprising longevity, well worth the money (unlike Incarnate unfortunately).

do better, girl
If anything, I have to thank this little bottle for igniting a discussion about ethical consumerism. Like it or not, we vote with our pocketbook. I imagine I have naively given money to some abhorrent people – and probably still do (Amazon?) – but when you build a brand around a public individual rather than a faceless entity (Brandy Melville, Lululemon) or a heritage label (Chanel, VW) they will be subject to more direct scrutiny, even if their creators may be culpable of greater sins.

But this is not the victim of a keyboard-happy burn-the-witch crusade. This is an adult vying for your attention and money, whilst actively demeaning the communities she operated within. (And, as of her latest rebuttal, totally without apology). So I suppose I also need to thank Mason Dixon Quest for having a public twitter. Had she not, I probably would have ponied up the cash. Feel for the noses behind this line and the niche vendors/creators that helped support Richard Nixon Fest’s launch, because they may have also been unaware of her attitudes.

As far as the scent – I got it as a free sampler from my local niche store and loved it enough to have the full bottle sitting in my online cart. Fortunately, all this came to light before I could pull the trigger. Credits to Yann Vasnier; I wish this fragrance wasn’t sullied by its figurehead for me now. Still looking for a cathedral incense vanilla, but very grateful for all the recommendations the community has fielded and the new connections forged during this discourse.

And for everyone who might say “ma’am, this is a fragrance forum,” yeah, it is. But fragrance is art. And all art is political. (One only need to google a bit about a particular fragrance forum's politics to read more). It’s a $170 bottle of luxury water. I can afford to not put it into the pocket of Clout Infinite Jest. And based on her most recent statements, she has already chosen her future consumer base. I wish her all the luck in engendering queer embrace, gender equity, and celebration of the arts in that sphere.

And c’mon? Wishing death on COVID patients? You’re not an edgelord. You’re just sad.

Do better, girl.

COZY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
Cozy incense wraps around you like a warm, comforting hug on a chilly autumn evening. A slight smokiness dances in the air, mingling with rich, resinous notes that feel as deep as a philosopher's thoughts on a Sunday morning. The blend of frankincense and labdanum carries a distinct "churchy" aroma, accompanied by a classy vanilla that doesn’t scream "birthday cake" but whispers "sophisticated dessert."

This fragrance doesn’t demand attention; it's more like a shy choirboy who only sings louder if you give him a nudge (or, you know, overspray). As it dries down, a robust sandalwood note emerges, conjuring images of an ancient church with wooden interiors that have seen better days.

Long-lasting and timeless, it evokes the spirit of classic church incense fragrances, reminiscent of Avignon, only sweeter and brighter. It may also call to mind L'air de Rien by Miller Harris, which smells like sweet, vanillic pages of old books wrapped in a cozy blanket of incense-y musk.

It’s the perfect fall fragrance.

My only criticism is the bottle and packaging. The vintage-looking sticker on the bottle reminds me of retro condiment labels, like those used for sugar, mustard, or mayonnaise in the 1960s. I understand what they were going for — a “vintage Americana” vibe — but it doesn’t appeal to me.

At first, I didn’t care for this scent. It felt very one-note: church incense. But it’s grown on me. Dries down to be warm and slightly animalic.

A perfect fall incense, and a very sexy one. “Take me to church” whispered as a double entendre.
