Fresh incense
This is the first incense I've felt in love with, starting my great interest in incenses in general. This is funny as I've heard Lorenzo Pazzaglia is not a fan of smoke and incense. Even similar Bloody Smoke or Fôm is far for beign called pure smoky scents. Still he managed to create one of the nicest perfumes in their category. Incenso Notturno was created excluseviely for polish perfumery House of Merlo.

Perfumes opening starts very citrusy and peppery. This pepper is quite important ingredient of this composition as it's set the tone through all phases. You can smell also some spices in it but all covered in smoothed incences. All in all this is well balanced mix of fresh citrus, spicy peppers and incens.

I think Pazzaglia didn't want to create pure smell of medieval cathedral. Rather fresh variation like smell of small church somewhere on the sunny coast, close to plantations. Despite the description it's great night out perfume. I can recommend.

Incenso Notturno – Lorenzo Pazzaglia
From the first moment, Incenso Notturno rises like a solemn hymn surrounded by smoky air. This is not daytime church incense, but the fragrance of ancient cathedrals after the candles have gone out—where quiet shadows fall and stone seems almost alive.

The opening is dense with resinous incense, serious and bold, surrounded by smoke that suggests the smell of burnt wood and dying embers. There is a darkness here that feels attractive, inviting you into its depths rather than pushing you away.

As the scent evolves, hints of spice and gentle balsamic tones appear, softening the smoky austerity—a quiet warmth surfaces, like a candle’s glow in a vast hall. The incense shifts into a more personal story—an intimate dialogue between skin and spirit.

The base reveals more depth: labdanum, woods, and earthy tones come together, leaving a lasting impression, as if the night has left its mark on your skin.

Longevity lasts over ten hours. The scent projects strongly at first, then becomes a close smoky aura, like a lingering whisper. Sillage is strong yet balanced—noticeable but never overpowering.

This fragrance is not suitable for everyone. Incenso Notturno is for those who seek the sacred in the profane, for those who love the nocturnal, the hidden, the unspoken.

Perfect for cold nights, winter gatherings, or introspection—when silence speaks louder than words.

Gorgeous citric and cold frankincense.
Intense blast of pepper, dusty cinnamon sweetness.
Everything Purpose aspired to be. Bad performance.

Initially super heavy on spice and smoky woods, transforms into typical cool, citrusy incense over a few minutes. Poor performance - again.

Decent enough, but rather generic peppery incense fragrance. Unremarkable scent with soft performance.

Citrus intro, followed by a rosey sandal incense stick scent. Banal, poor performing for an extrait. I want more from House of MERLO!

Very mysterious and enigmatic. Various resins and spices are fighting for attention, but everything is balanced. What a beautiful fragrance!

Oh, it's great! Smooth, slightly sweet incense wonderfully accented with resins. Not sacred, perfect for relaxing.

Yep, beautiful thing. Initially slightly citrusy - fresh undertones, then incense and resins take over, with a spicy base. Through solid...

Resinous, slightly green incense, surrounded by some spice and patchouli. In the base, it has a bit of oud. H+S good.
