  1. It bears a strong resemblance to Montale Full Incense and a bit to Avignon, if you’ll forgive the comparison. On my skin, what dominates is the incense, benzoin and resin; perhaps a very subtle hint of chamomile. The leather and sweetness are hardly noticeable on me. If you’re looking for a liturgical-style incense scent at a good price, this is an option. It doesn’t last long, but the first hour is noticeable and it’s not bad for keeping in the wardrobe.
