I too am orthodox Christian and wanted something that smells like our church. At least I thought I did until I started wearing some and then changed my mind. Great list two more to add are Profumum Roma Olibanum and Xerjoff Zefiro were two of the best ones and most wearable.
Just want to say that I love these type of videos...ranking them gives me an idea of what fragrance I should explore and try first...i love incense and specially the ones burned in churches. Thank you for this video
I love Serge Lutens l'orpheline, L'Artisan Parfumeur timbuktu & dzongkha, and Penhaligon's terrible teddy. I always want to try passge d'enfer and Tauervielle incense flash.
I love a good insence , especially this time of year. Great to learn about so many :) My two favourites are encens Superfluide by les eaux primordiales and calling all Angel's by April aromatics 🍀
Memo Paris Tiger's Nest is magical But you are right Sebastian it is very very very Expensive 250€ and the problem with this house they dont sell 50 ml bottles so in my opinion they lose a lot of costumers Because of prices
Since recently I got my first Incense fragrance, Dolce and Gabbana Velvet Incenso, and it's very much frankincense.. It does smell like a church, I'm starting to love it...
Great list! I can also recommend Shoyeido incense from Japan and Cire Trudon's Spiritus Sancti room spay. What I cannot recommend is Rance 1795's 'Sharisme'. It's not a smoky, churchy incense it's more like sour Frankincense with a strange citrus juice flooding in sideways and 'turning it'. On me this soapy sourness is unpleasant and almost reminds me of pool chlorine and the odour given off by some elderly men's skin in hospital. A hospital smell. It's an unappealing, almost embarrassing fragrance to wear in public. I don't want strangers to think I'm sweating out some kind of heavy medication or have a metabolic disorder of some kind. I love warm, sweeter incenses but hey, if people love their incense sans smoke and with tonnes of sourness they'll love it.
Incense fragrance are my absolute favorites 😍 I have a few of the fragrance featured in this video. I’ve been recently introduced to Heresy by Chapel Factory which is a clean sparkling incense fragrance, it’s great.
I just got in samples for Full Incense and Comme Des Garcon Avignon. And those two are really great. Avignon seems to be more smokier. I'm waiting on Jovoy La Liturgie Des Heures. I have high hopes for that one. Wish Avignon came in a larger bottle.
Has the comme des garçons incense line been discontinued? I have been looking for Kyoto and Avingon for a while and never see them anywhere. You have a tip where to find them?
@@MysticalRetreat Thanks but I don't see them on any of the usual US fragrance sites. Some in UK but they won't ship here or they charge quite a bit to ship.
Great video, Interlude Man is my all time favorite incense fragrance. I’m Looking to expand to a new one and you’ve given me several new ones I need to try. Jovoy is a quality brand and I look forward to trying their incense fragrance. Thanks Sebastian!
Hi Sebastian...great video as usually...I love incense even if I didn't try a lot of this list😏😏 actually I've tried only Interlude 😆 a great one!! Serges luten's 'fille en aiguilles ' means 'Girl on high heels'😉😉
Hey, been watching your reviews for years now, Mexico City say hi. I know you don't go that much for the "real churchy" smell vis a vis the sweeter incense formulas, however one that is my fav among these , churchy is my thing, would be Heeley's Eau Sacree...much drier than Cardinal and an extrait vs the edp. Keep these reviews coming, great work! Love Dahlia too!
Hey, I miss Dahlia / the lady that you made the video before/, and because of you, guys, I bought La Liturgie des heures by Jovoy Paris. It is nice but doesn't last more than 4 hours on me. But I have two other scents I do prefer and these are : *Unum, Lavs *Encens Superfluid, Les Eaux Primordiales If you find them , check them 😍
Sebastian, Certainly enjoy and respect your references to Church. I too grew up around incense and the connection to what is good and timeless. Stay well and see what’s going on in Church! My old friend Msgr 007 is now papal nuncio in Baghdad!
Are you familiar with "Rundholz" perfumes. They are niche designer and they have two nice incense perfumes to keep an eye on. They are really good.. One is fruity with rhubarb.. The other one full on incense with lychee.. Anyway.. Nice list Sebastian, keep on going..
Tauer is lipstick, hair conditioner frankincense. Montale Incense is just Avincourt, which is great. Rien Intense is a whiny, pissy frankincense in the best way. Les Heurs is gorgeous, but just super soft and gone. Casbah is gorgeous and lasting and the one you want.
Hi love and cents! This is a great list some of which I have some which I’ve never heard of some of which I I’ve heard of from you so this is great. My wife’s out in San Francisco right now the next time we go out there I’d love to meet you in person and maybe you can show me some of the great places that you go for fragrances.
I grew up with the neo-soul Erykah Badu incense smell You grew up with the Othordox Christian Church Incense.. 2 totally different smells. I want that luxury Erykah Badu Corner store smell
Thank you for your reviews. I'm interested in Incense perfumes that smells like the old head shops & tapestries stores from 60'70's. Also can you advise on a a fragrance that smells like the iconic Prell shampoo? Thank you.
This is excellent. I just discovered you. Do I have to mention that I'm a huge incense fan? ☺So, I'm still hesitating between Avignon and Encense Suave from Matiere Premiere. Keep up the quality content 🙌🏻
My only experience with an incense bomb was with Zadig & Voltaire This is Him and I loved its smell but didn't like it on me. Didn't want to smell like a church. I'm sure it's a note that in a lower dosage it could be fantastic.
Interesting and informative video as usual. Have to admit incense is not my cup of tea... However, your description of L'artisan and the Serge Lutens makes me want to try them because of the notes it's combined with... Some time ago I was given a complimentary sample of "Málaga Santa" and I think it would fit in this video, it's like the cooler, churchy incense..
Could you please do a top 10 or 20 fragrances with MINT? I'm finding it tricky to discover a really good and true one. My inspiration is the Diptyque Menthe Verte candle, it smells exactly like fresh crushed mint plants. Simple and authentic. I would like to find this note in a perfume, leaning toward the more feminine. 🌿🌿🌿
Thank you Sébastien for this video, that's too good because today I was just looking for an incense-based perfume! I 'm sick of Sweet or gourmand scents (I can' t stand anymore) that I'm looking for something resinous and dry, not sweet at all. I know a very good incense perfume's, named Serge Noire by Serge Lutens. It is sublime. Have you ever tried it? If you can advise me some other dry perfume (not sugary at all), don' t hesitate! Thank you for your videos, great as usual. And "Bonjour" from Paris.
I bought a sample of ELDO Rien Intense after your videos about this perfume and all I could smell was this old grandma style soap overpowering everything. I couldn’t smell leather at all and the smokiness just a little. It’s so strange, those aldehydes are so strong for me. I didn’t buy a bottle 😕 I was disappointed. I have a review on my channel!
Has anyone noticed the very strong and prominent Myrrh Note in L’Autre Oud Eau de Parfum by Lancôme? The Myrrh note is so intoxicating in this blend and it has led me on a journey to find the best Myrrh/Incense Fragrances?! Any fragrance suggestions that are similar or have a prominent Myrrh note?
If you can perform a magic trick and are able to feature more than one fragrance from the house in a Top 20 by all means tell me how it’s done! But in all honesty interlude is the only Incense one I know that is actually about incense the others are about something else with incense. 😄

Hey Sebastien, grew up in Greece too and recall the incense in the church and I love it. That's why I like oudy and woody frags
Great list and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

Bois d'Ascèse and Hwyl are two of my favorite Incense fragrances beside Full incense that is great to layer as well 😉
Thank you for a wonderful content . Always been obsessed with the incense note too 🤩♥️
Great list, discovered new fragrances!
UNUM Lavs is probably my favorite incense fragrance.
Great selection of incense fragrances Sebastian. My favs are TomFors Sahara Noir, Armani Prive Bois d`Encens, CdG Zagorsk and Kyoto :)

Laudano Nero is still my favourite, as well as being one of my frag houses.
I love La Liturgie. There area bunch of others on this list I'd like to get my hands on. Thanks for sharing!
I love it, I'm fanatic of dark ghotic misterius incense fragrances, I was waiting for this reveu, great, one of the best, my happy day
Yes, they are healing to the soul. Amen 🙏

Sahara noir darn it’s gone now!! 😢😢😢

Great video, have not smelled any of these but will keep an eye for some.
My favorite incense fragrance so far is Bentley for Men Absolute.
Tauer is lipstick, hair conditioner frankincense. Montale Incense is just Avincourt, which is great. Rien Intense is a whiny, pissy frankincense in the best way. Les Heurs is gorgeous, but just super soft and gone. Casbah is gorgeous and lasting and the one you want.

My favourite minimalist and affordable incense fragrance is AllSaints Incense City. Easy to wear and relaxing. It also reminds me of Bulgari Black.
Nice!!
Great video! I don't own a lot of incense fragrances, but I love sahara noir by TF
Lovely selection.
I suggest you try Freyja by Tonatto: a fantastic, vanillic incense.
Was a pleasure watching Seb need to check some of them out. Love the smell of the incense in the Armenian church 🇦🇲
This may just be my favorite category... can't get enough incense. Thanks, Sebastian 🌹
Enjoy!
Embers by Rouge Bunny Rouge is my favorite, although not easy to find in the US.
I haven’t tried that one I have to check.
My Favorite are Casbah, Encens suave and Eau Sacree
Huge incense fan! This is a great list. Thanks
I grew up with the neo-soul Erykah Badu incense smell
You grew up with the Othordox Christian Church Incense..
2 totally different smells.
I want that luxury Erykah Badu Corner store smell
ELdO Rien / RII are my favorites by far, then Naomi Goodsir Bois d’Ascese.
I adore this list!
As soon as I saw the notification...💪Let's Go!!!
Awesome video my friend.I just watched the incense video with Dalya the other day.
Thank you for your reviews. I'm interested in Incense perfumes that smells like the old head shops & tapestries stores from 60'70's. Also can you advise on a a fragrance that smells like the iconic Prell shampoo? Thank you.
I had Kyoto on my radar but now will look into Jaisalmer more.
I bought NUIT DE FEU this year and it has blown my mind. Knowing that I love it, which fragrance would you recommend next.
Please do an inexpensive incense review. I am very concerned about the possible loss of these beautiful trees.
That’s a tough topic, I don’t on any inexpensive options I’ll have to do a little research. 😄
I'm in love with Reve d'Ossian. It's a mistical sweetness. ❤️
Have you smelled “Incense Ourzazate” from that same CDG series? It’s a real beauty 🧡
Yes, I agree but it’s hard to find
I love Casbah but I feel you have to have a soecial presence to wear it. It's a vibe 😁
I totally agree!
Thank You for this video ❤️😊
Amouage is no. 1 when it comes to incense
My favorite one in your list is Tiger’s Nest, but it’s the only one I’ve sampled here...
This is excellent. I just discovered you. Do I have to mention that I'm a huge incense fan? ☺So, I'm still hesitating between Avignon and Encense Suave from Matiere Premiere. Keep up the quality content 🙌🏻

Mint is something I am working and should go on air within the month. I don't think I can do 20 but maybe 10+! :)
have you tried Cartier Oud & Menthe?
@Sebastian what do you think of Comme De Garcons Floriental? Plum/Incense/Other Resins
PROFVMVM ROMA Olibanum is what I like best. Avignon and Cardinal are up there, too.
Have you tried "Perris monte carlo Oud Imperial"? It's a real church with oud. Such a cold and dark scent.
perfect timing because looking for incense dominate fragrances to add to the collection. thoughts on More Than Words by Xerjoff?
More than words I think is Oud and Rose, I like it I don’t own it sadly yet.
My favorite was Donna Karan's Black Cashmere. Sadly it's been discontinued. So I am looking for something similar. Thanks for the amazing video.
I hate it when a favorite fragrance gets discontinued! :(
That was my favorite also...
🤤 ohh, Laudano Nero is beautiful
For me an elegant woody leaning incense scent. 👍😃
A veeery butiful review, it's my favourite note 💗🌹😊 thx habibi
Have you tried Incensum by Mizensir ? (Alberto Morillas’ house) - it’s the most beautiful incense imaginable - dry and complex. An absolute standout.
Thank you Sébastien for this video, that's too good because today I was just looking for an incense-based perfume! I 'm sick of Sweet or gourmand scents (I can' t stand anymore) that I'm looking for something resinous and dry, not sweet at all.

yes!!!!! this is what i want
Or Encens, Santal Royal, & Bentley Absolute
It sucks Fille En Aiguilles was moved form the normal line to the expensive line its now £230 !!! in the UK.
That's a better price. For us it's suggested retail $375! Plus tax! OUCH! :(
Have you tried Messe De Minuit by Etro , what do you think about it ?🍀
Aesop Hwyl is my favorite incense :)
Which of these is the least expensive?
Piguet you can find at discounters for around $100. The CDG's are under $100 suggested retail.
No Naomi Goodsir bois d'ascese??
Best frankincense comes from Oman, it’s called Hojari
Yes. The best to burn 🤌🤌🤌

Are there any good cool myrrh colognes?
