Incense Crush – Extrait de Parfum

D'ORSAY is a Paris fragrance house named after the dandy Alfred d'Orsay. Incense Crush as an Extrait de Parfum is its love potion – dark, spicy and a little dangerous.

Incense Crush smells of incense that feels physical rather than churchly. Clove and cardamom open sharp and aromatic, in the heart a leather accord and a creamy accord lie on top of each other, and cedar, oak and vetiver carry the smoke into a dry, warm base.

Incense Crush suits autumn and winter evenings, dark coats and bars with dimmed light. As an extrait it has density and staying power, yet the woods keep it clear rather than heavy.

What makes Incense Crush special to us is the contrast in its heart: leather and cream, hardness and softness, smoke and skin. An incense scent that doesn't want to be ceremonial but seductive.

What else might I like if I love Incense Crush?

Mortel by TRUDON builds on the same smoky, resinous depth with Somali incense, pepper, myrrh and benzoin – more churchly and stricter, but just as dark.
