My incense favourites are The original YSL Opium from the 70’s, Guerlain Shalimar, and The original Calvin Klein Obsession. I have not found any new incense fragrances yet to add to my beloved oldies. Still on the lookout.
OMG, Arlene, I have the same childhood growing up going to church in the Philippines and I associate the note of incense in the same way. It's a nostalgic, comfort scent and do have a small arsenal of incense frags in my collection, too. I love Ivory Route and this is the perfect time to wear it as this the time of year is when I smell incense the most (lenten season). I love Jo Malone's myrrh and Tonka too for the church-y feels.
I love Ivory Route too, I find it unique and impossible to find a dupe for. Do you find it performs better in hot weather when you're outdoors of a late evening? I think it's a humid, spicy, verdant green jungle of a scent rather than a sandalwoody cashmere sweater of a scent. I'd never wear Ivory Route indoors in winter-- I'd make everyone nauseous I fear. The Japanese sensibility has seeped into my bones and I hate the idea of obnoxiously shoving my smell and my choices up stranger's noses, ha! 😇
I have a small vial of Incense Oud but I prefer Kilian's Sacred Wood. I haven't tried Xerjoff or D&G's yet. My personal favourite incense/sandalwood is still Diptyque Tam Dao EDP.
Thank you for the great video! :-) Have you tried any middle eastern Bakhoor or Attars (perfume oil)? Incense originated from the middle east... if you haven't already checked these out, highly recommended.
I like Amouage Interlude Man, L'Artisan Dzongkha and Séville à l'aube, Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant, and UNUM LAVS off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more.
You should really check issey miyake or incense (it's from their oriental collection). Where marc (robes08) smelled it for the first and i saw his reaction ... i had to get a bottle of asap and i love it! People around me also love it! You should check the comme des garcons incense series - i really want to try their kyoto one! Regards from germany :)

Try Joop Femme. I find it more incense-like than Obsession.

I'll have to revisit myrrh & tonka. 😊
Wonderful video, Arlene. Still so happy to own Ivory Route. Bought a decant after watching your video about it and fell in love with the scent.😘
Yay! Glad you like it! 😊

Heya! So nice to see you stop by 😊
I want to try that DG one... another incense (floral) scent i want to try is lutens’ la religeuse... 💗
I just picked up black insenso in tjmaxx, supposed to be a dupe for velvet insenso, loved it!
Velvet Incenso is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Not for everyone but its for me.
Lol!
Come across your video now, great topic😍 i wonder what you think about Akkad by Lubin or Divine Vanille. I looove them
Thank you for this review. Ordered a few samples of Ivory Route and it’s absolutely fantastic. Agree it’s one of the best incense frags on the market.
Thank you arlene 🌹,, i heard dolce & Gabbana velvet incenso leaning more male 🤔i am afraid to buy it because this perfume is not cheap at all
Definitely not blind buy worthy 😊
Elie Saab La Nuit Noor is also an incense perfume and I would love to smell it, but it's not available in my country. Has anyone ever tried it? 🌞
I have a small vial of Incense Oud but I prefer Kilian's Sacred Wood. I haven't tried Xerjoff or D&G's yet. My personal favourite incense/sandalwood is still Diptyque Tam Dao EDP.
Thanks so much. How is velvet incenso's sillage?
Thanks Arlene 3-15-2021
My pleasure as always 😊
In my skin Athalia from Marly turns in the most beautiful incense parfum. And I love L'Autre Oud is a incense parfum that I 💕
Xerjoff bottles are the most beautiful in the world. Nothing came close. You've got the wirdest taste in history)))
They sound mysterious...love!

I haven't no...not yet anyway
Hi Arlene, fellow Canadian here - curious, have you tried Caftan by YSL?
I have yes, a long long tine ago. I thought it was gorgeous 😊
I like Amouage Interlude Man, L'Artisan Dzongkha and Séville à l'aube, Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant, and UNUM LAVS off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more.
I love subtle incense scent in a fragrance. Just curious, do you pick up the incense in Parfums de Marly Safanad?
From distant memory, I don't think I do 😊
@@DeliciousDelights Thanks! Love your videos, keep up the good work. 😊
Big fan of Ivory Route!
A censer burns the incense. I get the same nostalgia growing up going to the Greek Orthodox Church.
I have YSL Nu (discontinued). I just got a sample of Montale Full Incense.

Sounds amazing! I'll add those to my test list thanks! 😊
I am so not an incense fan, lol. It reminds me of church too and I can never breathe when they bring out the incense! 😆
I love ivory route 💟
The Censor and sweet prayers! Meleg Mushin by Matthew Meleg is an unbelievable Incense frag.
Ohh thx for the suggestion 😊
Norma Kamali !
Is the vanilla in the Dolce strong?
I smell it the most in the dry down but it's always in the background, behind the incense
Nice
