Get away from me, demon!
Ohweiherauch - Incense City was a risky blind buy on my part. Was it worth it?
Incense is a fragrance that I am only just beginning to discover and learn to love. So absolutely a new resident of Incense City.
So I was afraid I had completely overestimated myself here. After all, this is supposed to be the absolute incense bomb that you get here - at least according to the reviews. Pure incense, so to speak, with which you can keep all kinds of demons, vampires and other creatures at bay. Useful for sure if your name is Buffy, but do I want to smell like that? Am I up to these clouds of incense as a newbie? I wasn't sure.
So it was with appropriately sacred reverence that I sprayed the scent for the first time. Wow. Very different from what I expected, very different from what I feared.
My first association was not a cold church in Incense City, but a soft, sweet desert at night, far from the city. With warm dunes of ambrette cedarwood sand on which - there it is - gently cooling veils of incense lie. So yes, the incense is present, and for me it becomes more present as the fragrance progresses, but it never becomes overwhelming. The balance between cold incense and warm, resinous wood is really well done and offers enough contrast for me to want to keep sniffing it.
Wage the fragrance seems familiar to me, I would like to say it reminds me of Ambre Khandjar from Une Nuit Nomade without the plum (would explain the desert association), but I no longer have my sample for direct comparison.
Longevity is okay, I get around 5 hours. At the beginning, it radiates at least well at arm's length, then gets quieter relatively quickly. I think it's absolutely solid for the price.
Where there's incense, there's fire, right? And that's true of this fragrance, because I'm on fire. Especially now for the colder season, I can already say: this will be a perennial favorite for me. It was definitely a risky blind buy, but it was worth it for me.
I am now well prepared for any demon encounters and can say with fervor: Get away from me demon! But don't leave me, scent!"
