Many of you might be surprised incense is probably in fragrances you love. I left several out of the video that have incense just to keep it around 30 minutes (ex. Chanel Coromandel has incense). Welcome to the wonderful world of incense in fragrances!! Did I miss any or your favorite? Also don't forget about the big giveaway going on now. It's not too late to put your name in the hat!
Thank you! You’re so kind. I needed my spirit to be lifted then and still do. It’s been rough. We’re preparing for a Joint Commission inspection and we will have a “mass casualty” exercise coming up soon.
@@tdsollog oh Lord! I put your name down twice (I’m paying my daughter to plug all the names into the spinning wheel since it’s been about 400). You just got another shot! 🙏🏻
So many new incense fragrances to try out! Thank you! I think that Encens Suave is going to be my next full bottle. And I am considering a bottle of Babycat because I am loving my decant.
Wow Chris! ❤ There are so many fragrances on this list that sound intriguing. Especially Babycat and Sandalwood in Oak 😍 Aaand I would love to have my spirits raised 😁
What an amazing list! Thanks for another great video. I want all of these! Incense is one of my absolute favorite notes in perfumery. It's complex and sexy and mysterious and comforting at the same time. ~ I'd absolutely love to win that Navitus perfume. That would be a dream. ❤️
Caftan has been on my wishlist for a while now. I love burning incense and love the note. That’s why I enjoy some Arabic fragrance, most oud have a touch of incense. Definitely not for everyone or all seasons. In the “burning”‘category, and not the most original but “By the fireplace” is still a big fave for cold weather only (I sprayed it once in the summer and oh boy that was not a good idea).
Hi Chris! Yes! That Gorgeous Frankincense in Encens Suave is to die for! Love Babycat, too! I've taken notes for some new-to-be fragrances to check out this winter! Yay!
Great list! I love Ensens Suave and Basilica, and feel like Falling Trees is right in my wheel house. Another one of my favorite incense frags is LiquidNight by A Lab on Fire (incense and hinoki!).
Great video! 👏 Id also put Oud For Greatness within this category. Palo Santo was indeed a hot star note of last year and im sure will be seeing more of the trend carry into 2023. Enjoyed it in TF’s Ebene Fume and Bois Marocain.
My best friend loves incense because they're a very spiritual person and I'm always trying to recommend fragrances to my friends so this video is definitely helpful! Thank You! ❤ Also, I don't know if you've ever been told this before but your voice is so beautiful and comforting.
Aw! Oh my gosh. Your comment just completely made my day! 🥹🙏🏻❤️Seriously. Thank you because my favorite channels are those that make me laugh and are relaxing. So I’m so thrilled someone had a good time stopping by. Big big hug. Chris. 🥰
I’m trying really hard to learn fragrance notes so I can start to learn what I enjoy and don’t, so this series has been helpful as I’m learning 🥰 Just bought a sample of Raised Spirts and would love to have a full bottle! Thank you for being generous in sharing your extras 😊
I’ll put you down! If you want to learn notes go to Whole Foods or something similar and start purchasing their small bottles or Essential oils or sample smell them. That’s a good place to start.
I just really love that you have a book on incense, so cool!!❤ Blanche bete is so on my list, I crave that fragrance!! Lol!! May even be my valentines present from my husband!! Lol!!
I don't have any incensey fragrances, which is remarkable because I love to burn incense at home. I buy mine from a company called The Mother's India Fragrances and the quality is really good. Great video, I will definitely be checking some of these out 🙌
Really? Oh thank you so much!! Yes I used to burn it much more but I don’t like to inhale smoke so I do it much less frequently now and wear incense perfumes instead. ❤️
I’ve never heard of most of these, so thank you. Bloody wood is one of my favorite incense scents, it’s like if a monk in a monastery made sangria wine with red berries in oak, with roses around red red red with hint of incense. No by the fireplace? Good video. ❤
Oh my gosh. I just bought two from the line perfume shopping in Houston and skipped right over sampling that one. I was kind of sampled out but dang that sounds amazing. Now I must try!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰
Hi! That was so good to watch, I could almost smell the perfumes! Did you try Empireo Onyrico and Queen of The Night The Merchant of Venice? So so good! 🥰
I love the book!! I really enjoyed hearing that part at the beginning! I blind bought Blanche Bete this week. (I'm so naughty with all this blind buying! 🤣) Fingers crossed!
@@ThePerfumeNest lol!! I should have but I guess I like being bad sometimes! Sure!! I'd love to try BC but only when it's convenient for you! No rush bc I have a feeling that once I get my big Italian nose on it, I'll want it and won't be able to find it! Lol!
Babycat, at least on my skin, reminds me of VaneXstasy too and even Material a bit except for the more peppery opening. Dolce Amalfi has a great incense note, as does Material! x
OMG, cannot thank you enough for this review… I’d been referring to Sebastian’s video, hoping for an update - et voila💨 you delivered - and I’m definitely looking into a few of these you’ve highlighted! I have a couple perfumes I consider incensey: the most churchy of which is Reve d'Ossian by Oriza L. Legrand (liturgical, almost cold but I like to warm it up with SJP Stash (also being incensey to my nose)); SCRYING SMOKE by Solstice Scents (warmer) & I also consider Narciso Rodriguez Musc for Her to be slightly incensey, as well.
Omg. Does he have an incense video?? 😂😂I wish I could still watch him I just can’t; he’s wonderful but I try and use every spec of spare time supporting my friends’ channels here. Reve is beautiful, I’ve gone through THREE decants and have had it in and out of my cart for 2 years. 😂😂Now Scrying Smoke that’s a new one thank you!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻Ive had that house on my wish list for months!!!
I didn’t even know that I love incense until I got a sample of Encens Suave and a decant of Caftan😍😍. I only have two full size bottles, Coromandel and Babycat😍😍. I would love to get my hands of Mystic Incens since Encens Suave is on the pricier side and also Basilica🤔🤔. Great diverse list provided as always👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.
Great review with excellent names. Interesting but Ivory Route that smells like one of the most fantastic incense yes I didn’t make the mistake, this one smells like really sophisticated sweet vanilla incense sticks. Although notes are not listed but it does smell like incense. Also, another outstanding incense is D&G Velvet Incenso. Try it if haven’t already you won’t be disappointed. Would be nice if you could review it as well. Your review style is one of the best out there.
Hey Chris! Yeah one of my favorite notes! CH Herrera and Blanche Bete are just absolutely gorgeous! Now I have other incense fragrances to try. Mystic Incense sounds so intriguing. The handoff cameo will definitely result in 10’s and 10’s of views.😂
Thanks for your video Chris! You have a lovely collection of incense fragrances. I really enjoy the smell sometimes and have an indie one that I like when I am in the mood for it. Have a good weekend! - Jenn
Beautiful, beautiful selection! I adore Incense fragrances, especially churchy incenses. I took some notes about some of your suggestions. Let me recommend the following: Freya by Diletta Tonatto, Eau Sacreé by Heeley, Incenso delle Chiese di Roma by Laura Tonatto, Incenso d'oriente by Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio, Reve d'Ossian by Oriza Legrand and La Liturgie des Heures by Jovoy. I will be following your channel, from now on.
Hi Marco! Wow thank you for those suggestions and I love churchy incense as well! Right after I made that video I got the Orizia L Legrand perfume. I will def check out the others and thank you for subscribing! I’d love to hear your requests.
Hey Chris! Here in the Southern hemisphere, we are knee-deep in incense season. And I think I have found heaven.... Vanagloria + Lamar Kajal Both have a pineapple note. Think caramelised pineapple upside-down cake. And when I tell you it's a BEAST combo...honey, you need to be a lion tamer to handle it.
I got Paco Rabanne Fame and love it! It's a tropical mango with sensual insence and jasmine. Very interesting combo. Wish Babycat would've hit the US to try. Enjoyed as always Chris
I know right!! I appreciate its availability, you know what?? You love Vanagloria? The one thing you should say is “Hallelujah!” Take Babycat off your list. So many ppl are obsessed about not getting a bottle. Consider yourself lucky!! 🍀🙌
Hi! Another incense lover here. Love mystic incense ❤to me it’s my incense candy 🍬 would love to hear your thoughts on the commes de garcons incense line, mandala and encens asakusa. Or maybe a complete tour of all your incense scents?? 😂 thank you!
Oh how exciting to “meet” you!! Yes I have the entire line of CdG (at least in 5 ml decants). I need to do another incense video. Even if it’s not popular it’s a note I’m obsessed with and love dearly. Thanks for stopping by and reminding me to do another video. Prob in September since no one is going to want to think about incense in the hot weather. 💕
Hello Chris, thank you for so many great recomandations 😘 Sandalwood in Oak is on my list 👍 My favourite incense fragrances are Chypre Vanille by Montale and Magnificat from V Canto 🥰
I really enjoy Arthur from Penhaligon’s as well! I feel like they make very wearable incense fragrances. As a gourmand girl at heart, I also enjoy Un Deux Trois Soleil. The incense really gives it just the right oomph ❤
Hey Heather!!! Can you send me your mailing address to my email! I’d love to get your bottle to you!!! And Arthur is next on my “to try” list. Those beauties I like to sample first. But it sounds lovely.
Gosh Chris, your outros are just so funny recently, idk how but each time it is funny 😂 Not an incense lover. In fact, a lot of incenses tend to have a scary effect for me. Like... idk. Especially leturgical ones. Maybe because I am not a believer, I am not religious at all, and tend to feel anxious in a religious context. It really isn't my thing. And yeah so, when a fragrance has this cold, cold church rock/wall vibe, dark vibe like in church some can be very dark and "cold" colours, and so silent, yeah it really can make me feel very uncomfortable. I think I like benjoin and labdanum bcs sweeter, I can tolerate Myrrh in some ways, but for exemple elemi, olibanum, or others, really hard for me. Litterally the reason I let Milk Musk EDP by Molton Brown go. It was making me feel... sad and anxious, not comforting at all when I was wearing it. Already told you but you would LOVE it, I'm almost certain you would absolutely love it. Elemi is too strong for me, especially for a first meet ever with this note. But for you ! Elemi, benjoin, vanilla, MILK, you're in heaven trust me ;) (yeah I am the little demon on your shoulder making you but fragrances 😈) Haha, have a nice evening - day ! ^^
Thank you for leaving such a nice comment. I wouldn’t wear fragrances that made me feel like that either! And when I was your age I didn’t go for that scent at all. In fact I was a green aldehydic floral girl. I’m way on the opposite site of that fragrance wheel! It wasn’t until my early 30s did I start to enjoy patchouli. And now of course I love it. 😂
I do love incense as a minor player in floral or ambery accords, not as much as the dominant accord, but I do have a bottle of Etro Messe de Minuit (somewhere!) As you would expect based on the name, it's a churchy incense.
Incense! Yay! My favourite!🥰Thank you, Chris! 😘Now I have so many new ones to try 😊One of my favourites is Bois d'Encens by Armani Prive and it's full on churchy, like legit cold marble and incense smoke. Have you maybe tryed that one yet? I would say it's quite masculine but I love to layer it with pretty much any sweeter, vanillic fragrance. Another one that is quite unusual is Olibanum Gardenia by Bohoboco. I do not pick up the gardenia at all though (thankfully 😂) and it can be worn all year round.
I love Olibanum Gardenia and contemplating a FB. I tried the reformulation of Bois d’Encens and didn’t love it like the sample I smelled around 3 years ago. It was gorgeous.
I purchased Encens Suave a few months ago and love it. It gives me visions of eating buttered toast (no clue why) and drinking coffee while sitting in a wooden pew at church as the priest walks by with the incense 😄
I don’t think I’ve ever actually smelled incense, but I just bought some incense sticks before Christmas, and am looking forward to trying them out! I bought three different scents! I typically don’t like anything smokey at all in fragrances, but time will tell if burning my very own incense will change my mind 😉😘 xo
Me again! Researching Fall scents in a couple of categories. It sounds like Falling Trees might hit several targets for me at once! 😃 I am wondering whether you detect a note of soap or some kind of clean, barber shop shaving cream note in The Bewitching Yasmine. I have a sample of Changing Constance, which I like, but that has that barber shop vibe that I'm not really into.Thanks for your help! 🥰
I love Vanagloria and Babycat, but my favs are deff CDG Avignon (most alike to Catholic church incense smell) and Kyoto ( the whole concept is so great - one incense perfume representing one world religion- and they are all oh so mesmerising) and CDG Rouge with beetroot and incense- one of the weirdest and prettiest incense perfumes out there, so CDG like. I would love to hear your take on these. And, btw, I looove your perfume taste. Literally I could blind buy anything u like and I cannot wait to go to Italy and try Gritti Mon Ami which I saw in one of your recent videos (whenever that might be). It just seems oh so great. Hugs to you!
Oh my goodness do you know how long those have been on my mind ? I never went through because I have so many but I really really want to try Kyoto. Thank you for reminding me to get samples of those!!!
And thank you so much for taking the time and leaving such a lovely comment. Mon Ami is very unique. The fact she pulled it from behind the counter (not on the shelves) and it reminds me of Venice makes it more special to me. I can’t wait until you go to the boutiques and get to try all of the lovelies. Essenzialmente Laura is a must stop also!
Hey Chris! I was waiting for this video to get one scent and now I am going totally crazy. I don’t know which one to get😱 need help for sure. You have so many and they all sound incredibly good.🤔🤔
It’s crazy looking at some of my most loved fragrances as of late they are either sandalwood or incense dominant! Never thought that would be so high on my list of loved notes! Great review as always!!
Hey Chris.. once again, I learn so much from your videos that highlight a note like this😊😊 I’m unsure if I like incense or not Some of my perfumes may have it? I do like Paulo Santo. Your descriptions as per usual are all so intriguing!! Hope you’re having a great weekend! 😀❤️
I adore Caftan. Not only is it versatile, but it is also a great base to amp up less performing fragrances. Arte Profumi Samharam is a great incense perfume - haven't heard anyone speak about it. Another less pronounced incense is Arabia by La Maison Orientale (an unspoken of house) by Christian Provenzano.
Hey, I have Montale Full Incense, too. Would you wear Basilica in warm weather? I really want it, but I get the most use out of perfumes that I can wear in warm weather because I live where it's most often warm or hot, but I love these woody-incense-vanilla best. You look so pretty in that red lip!
I don’t have too many incense fragrances in my collection, so here we go: EL Youth Dew, YSL Opium, Guerlain Shalimar and Mariah Carey M. I do have more perfumes with resins. Love from the spooky 👻 Pine Barrens in NJ
Oh do tell! Resins are incense! Frankincense is a resin. It’s confusing! What resinous perfumes are your favorite? And Mariah Carey M is one I’ve never tried! 🤔
@@ThePerfumeNest Gadzooks! I went through my collection inventory on Fragrantica, and listed the “incense” ones. Does Amber count as a resin? If so, then mine is quite respectable for a non content creator.
@@ThePerfumeNest This is fascinating. I’m learning here. I usually categorize my scents or blind buy through Fragrantica. I love ambers. But I’ve noticed I have “warm weather” ones and “cold weather” ones.
I’d be curious what you thought. Has anyone from the US sent you samples? It’s pretty easy to ship to Canada but The Netherlands was very very strict and expensive. I’d love to send you some stuff for fun and for you to sample!
Hi Chris!!So...incense is a slow burner note for me 😅 i'm still getting my nose around it but I have a tiny bottle of Encens Suave that I truly enjoy at the right time, also have you tried L'eau d'Iparie by L'Occitane? It's a Myrrh and Incense based fragrance that I can wear because it is somehow 🤔 airy...and I love the dry down 💕 !
Hi Chris, random question: have you tried any perfumes from the house of Il Profvmo, and if so, which ones? I am so tempted by Chocolate. and Vanilla Bourbon, but can't really find a good reviewer I trust.
Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV 🤍 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you, Chris!! 🫶
An FYI, falling trees is out of stock everywhere and no longer listed on their website. I did find one shop in Chicago that still had a sample but I passed. What if I liked it, lol?
You are right! They were running a big sale 2 weeks ago for their older range ….fortunately I picked up two of their fragrances because they are gone today. Poof. Two weeks ago they were there.!!😮I’m glad I didn’t hesitate. It is sold out on Lucky Scent as well. Out with the old…in with the new I guess. 😂🤦♀️
Hi Chris 🌹Did I hear you say Babycat is being discontinued? That’s so bizarre because it’s a new fragrance 🥺 everyone seems to love it and rave about how amazing it is…
Great video! Incense is a note that I struggled with when I was first starting out in my fragrance journey but noticed that more and more of my more recent LOVES have a note of incense! I wish I could put my nose through the screen and sniff all your blotters! 😂
Oh my goodness I was in total heaven in that room filming! I don’t exactly know when I really started to love incense in perfumes…maybe when I started getting into niche perfumes because that is where I found it mostly. I would choose it over vanilla. Shocking. I know. 😂❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest Chergui by Serge Lutens was a fragrance that took me a while to pick up because I was afraid of incense but turns out to be one that i love so much. It’s so warm and comforting yet fierce! I feel like Khaleesi from Game of Thrones when I wear it! 🤣❤️🔥
Love this video! Also, are you still planning on doing your top cleanly made fragrances? I know you mentioned that you were working on that several videos ago. I would love to hear your list on cleanly made fragrances!

Holy Spumoni! 😂😂Yes! It is amazing right?
So many new incense fragrances to try out! Thank you!

Do you think it’s overly sweet?

I know right!! I appreciate its availability, you know what?? You love Vanagloria? The one thing you should say is “Hallelujah!” Take Babycat off your list. So many ppl are obsessed about not getting a bottle. Consider yourself lucky!! 🍀🙌
Hi! Another incense lover here. Love mystic incense ❤to me it’s my incense candy 🍬 would love to hear your thoughts on the commes de garcons incense line, mandala and encens asakusa. Or maybe a complete tour of all your incense scents?? 😂 thank you!
Oh how exciting to “meet” you!! Yes I have the entire line of CdG (at least in 5 ml decants). I need to do another incense video. Even if it’s not popular it’s a note I’m obsessed with and love dearly. Thanks for stopping by and reminding me to do another video. Prob in September since no one is going to want to think about incense in the hot weather. 💕
@@ThePerfumeNest wonderful, looking forward to it!!
As a child went to latin mass ,the incense is what I remember fondly , I want to try one of your incense perfumes
It is a nice memory. I have the same one. ❤️😉
Hello Chris, thank you for so many great recomandations 😘
Sandalwood in Oak is on my list 👍
My favourite incense fragrances are Chypre Vanille by Montale and Magnificat from V Canto 🥰
Magnificat? Really? I bought that and forgot I had it and sprayed once and thought it was really pretty!!
I didn’t realize it had incense although that makes sense.
I really enjoy Arthur from Penhaligon’s as well! I feel like they make very wearable incense fragrances. As a gourmand girl at heart, I also enjoy Un Deux Trois Soleil. The incense really gives it just the right oomph ❤
Hey Heather!!! Can you send me your mailing address to my email! I’d love to get your bottle to you!!! And Arthur is next on my “to try” list. Those beauties I like to sample first. But it sounds lovely.
Gosh Chris, your outros are just so funny recently, idk how but each time it is funny 😂
Not an incense lover. In fact, a lot of incenses tend to have a scary effect for me. Like... idk. Especially leturgical ones. Maybe because I am not a believer, I am not religious at all, and tend to feel anxious in a religious context. It really isn't my thing. And yeah so, when a fragrance has this cold, cold church rock/wall vibe, dark vibe like in church some can be very dark and "cold" colours, and so silent, yeah it really can make me feel very uncomfortable. I think I like benjoin and labdanum bcs sweeter, I can tolerate Myrrh in some ways, but for exemple elemi, olibanum, or others, really hard for me. Litterally the reason I let Milk Musk EDP by Molton Brown go. It was making me feel... sad and anxious, not comforting at all when I was wearing it. Already told you but you would LOVE it, I'm almost certain you would absolutely love it. Elemi is too strong for me, especially for a first meet ever with this note. But for you ! Elemi, benjoin, vanilla, MILK, you're in heaven trust me ;) (yeah I am the little demon on your shoulder making you but fragrances 😈)
Haha, have a nice evening - day ! ^^
Thank you for leaving such a nice comment. I wouldn’t wear fragrances that made me feel like that either! And when I was your age I didn’t go for that scent at all. In fact I was a green aldehydic floral girl. I’m way on the opposite site of that fragrance wheel! It wasn’t until my early 30s did I start to enjoy patchouli. And now of course I love it. 😂
And I get a little silly filming late at night….as you can tell. 😁
Thanks for the lunch time upload 👍👍😻 incense is difficult for me but I'll watch ❤️
Aw you are a sweetie. I promise I will find an incense perfume you like. ❤️
I do love incense as a minor player in floral or ambery accords, not as much as the dominant accord, but I do have a bottle of Etro Messe de Minuit (somewhere!) As you would expect based on the name, it's a churchy incense.
Of goodness that’s a new one for me!!
Incense! Yay! My favourite!🥰Thank you, Chris! 😘Now I have so many new ones to try 😊One of my favourites is Bois d'Encens by Armani Prive and it's full on churchy, like legit cold marble and incense smoke. Have you maybe tryed that one yet? I would say it's quite masculine but I love to layer it with pretty much any sweeter, vanillic fragrance. Another one that is quite unusual is Olibanum Gardenia by Bohoboco. I do not pick up the gardenia at all though (thankfully 😂) and it can be worn all year round.
I love Olibanum Gardenia and contemplating a FB. I tried the reformulation of Bois d’Encens and didn’t love it like the sample I smelled around 3 years ago. It was gorgeous.
@@ThePerfumeNest
Oh! Good to know about the reformulation. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
I purchased Encens Suave a few months ago and love it. It gives me visions of eating buttered toast (no clue why) and drinking coffee while sitting in a wooden pew at church as the priest walks by with the incense 😄
Aw! I love that! You need to start a you tube channel!! That nose is quite discerning!!👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I don’t think I’ve ever actually smelled incense, but I just bought some incense sticks before Christmas, and am looking forward to trying them out! I bought three different scents! I typically don’t like anything smokey at all in fragrances, but time will tell if burning my very own incense will change my mind 😉😘 xo
You need to start with something fresh. Like Cardinal.
@@ThePerfumeNest that one did sound nice! 🙏🏼 thanks gf! 💕
Me again! Researching Fall scents in a couple of categories. It sounds like Falling Trees might hit several targets for me at once! 😃 I am wondering whether you detect a note of soap or some kind of clean, barber shop shaving cream note in The Bewitching Yasmine. I have a sample of Changing Constance, which I like, but that has that barber shop vibe that I'm not really into.Thanks for your help! 🥰
Hmm. Well I’m going to make your life easy and say take Falling Trees off your radar. It’s very hard to find now. 🤣
Well, that's a bummer. Was hoping for an all-in-one perfume 🤣🤣@@ThePerfumeNest
I love Vanagloria and Babycat, but my favs are deff CDG Avignon (most alike to Catholic church incense smell) and Kyoto ( the whole concept is so great - one incense perfume representing one world religion- and they are all oh so mesmerising) and CDG Rouge with beetroot and incense- one of the weirdest and prettiest incense perfumes out there, so CDG like. I would love to hear your take on these. And, btw, I looove your perfume taste. Literally I could blind buy anything u like and I cannot wait to go to Italy and try Gritti Mon Ami which I saw in one of your recent videos (whenever that might be). It just seems oh so great. Hugs to you!
Oh my goodness do you know how long those have been on my mind ? I never went through because I have so many but I really really want to try Kyoto. Thank you for reminding me to get samples of those!!!
And thank you so much for taking the time and leaving such a lovely comment. Mon Ami is very unique. The fact she pulled it from behind the counter (not on the shelves) and it reminds me of Venice makes it more special to me. I can’t wait until you go to the boutiques and get to try all of the lovelies. Essenzialmente Laura is a must stop also!
Hey Chris! I was waiting for this video to get one scent and now I am going totally crazy. I don’t know which one to get😱 need help for sure. You have so many and they all sound incredibly good.🤔🤔
It’s crazy looking at some of my most loved fragrances as of late they are either sandalwood or incense dominant! Never thought that would be so high on my list of loved notes! Great review as always!!
Me also! Sandalwood , incense and vanilla! 💯!!!!🙌
Blanche Bete is amazing! It’s beast mode on me also. I try to not overspray 😅
Yes!! Right??!! I can’t imagine it being soft. 😂
Caftan and basilica both sound fab.
Yes these might be more up your ally although I feel the incense for you must be floral/jasmine heavy….🤦♀️
I love Caftan.Just ordered Babycat,love at first sniff.
We have similar taste then??? Where did you find Babycat? Selfridges?
@@ThePerfumeNest I live in Toronto,Canada...Holt Renfrew,they only had a tester so I had to order.
just bought a house in the subtropics but considering giving it all up for a place with real winters so I can test and wear all of these.
😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️Yes I love the changes of Season
Bewitching Yasmine sounds delish!
Ah…I may know someone. 😂🥰🥰🥰
Great video Chris! I learned a lot!❤
❤️❤️❤️😍
Hey Chris.. once again, I learn so much from your videos that highlight a note like this😊😊 I’m unsure if I like incense or not Some of my perfumes may have it? I do like Paulo Santo. Your descriptions as per usual are all so intriguing!! Hope you’re having a great weekend! 😀❤️
Go to fragrantica and do a perfume search of incense notes. You’d be surprised! 😄
@@ThePerfumeNest Ooh good idea! 😊
FALLING TREES❣️❣️❣️
I am surprised, that you have REGIME DE FLEURS scents:
very cool!
But this one is really week, such a pity. The scent is stunning!
Yes!!! Yay!! You also? 👏🏻I have Little Flower, Falling Trees, Willows and Glass Blooms. Oh if only I won the lotto I’d have more. 😂
just like the word Perfume...from the latin Per Fumum (through the smoke) . Ilove your videos and the info I get from them. thank you so much!
Yes! I should have included that tidbit. 😀And Thank you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I adore Caftan. Not only is it versatile, but it is also a great base to amp up less performing fragrances. Arte Profumi Samharam is a great incense perfume - haven't heard anyone speak about it. Another less pronounced incense is Arabia by La Maison Orientale (an unspoken of house) by Christian Provenzano.
Oh thank you for that!!! Christian Provenzano….ah. Dangerous but beautiful house. Haven’t tried that one. ❤️❤️
Hey, I have Montale Full Incense, too.
Would you wear Basilica in warm weather? I really want it, but I get the most use out of perfumes that I can wear in warm weather because I live where it's most often warm or hot, but I love these woody-incense-vanilla best.
You look so pretty in that red lip!
Thank you for this! I now have a list!!
Aw.. welcome to the wonderful world of incense!!!❤️❤️❤️
CAFTAN is the queen of mature, summer-ish incense❣️
Oh my gosh yes!!!!! Exactly. I love it for summer evenings. ❤️🔥
Tens and tens hahah. Your helper could have been famous all the way to Australia 😃🇦🇺
I know right??!! If only he could have squeezed his arm in there ….Hollywood would be calling!!! Any day I’m sure. 😂
Hi Chris! You look gorgeous! Wait Babycat is being discontinued? It hasn’t even come out in the U.S lol
Thank you! And yes!!! That’s the rumor!!🤦♀️Can you believe that??? 😮
@@ThePerfumeNest They’re nuts! lol 🤪
I don’t have too many incense fragrances in my collection, so here we go: EL Youth Dew, YSL Opium, Guerlain Shalimar and Mariah Carey M.
I do have more perfumes with resins.
Love from the spooky 👻 Pine Barrens in NJ
Oh do tell! Resins are incense! Frankincense is a resin. It’s confusing! What resinous perfumes are your favorite? And Mariah Carey M is one I’ve never tried! 🤔
@@ThePerfumeNest Gadzooks! I went through my collection inventory on Fragrantica, and listed the “incense” ones. Does Amber count as a resin? If so, then mine is quite respectable for a non content creator.
@@tdsollog oh I love ambers! But they are considered a melange of notes. I’ve never done an amber video either! I don’t know how that’s possible. 😮
@@ThePerfumeNest This is fascinating. I’m learning here. I usually categorize my scents or blind buy through Fragrantica. I love ambers. But I’ve noticed I have “warm weather” ones and “cold weather” ones.
I've seen lots of people saying how much they love blanche bête recently, you're right, lots of attention at the moment. "Mystical incense" 🤣
I’d be curious what you thought. Has anyone from the US sent you samples? It’s pretty easy to ship to Canada but The Netherlands was very very strict and expensive. I’d love to send you some stuff for fun and for you to sample!
Hi Chris!!So...incense is a slow burner note for me 😅 i'm still getting my nose around it but I have a tiny bottle of Encens Suave that I truly enjoy at the right time, also have you tried L'eau d'Iparie by L'Occitane? It's a Myrrh and Incense based fragrance that I can wear because it is somehow 🤔 airy...and I love the dry down 💕 !
Oh that sounds lovely!!!😮❤️
And no I haven’t tried it. But will now!
I'm interested in having Raised Spirits. A good incense fragrance is Devotion by House of Matriarch.
Oh thank you! I’ll check it out!!
It is amazing how same perfume can have completely different wear times on different people. Santal Complet lasts at least 8 hrs on me
You are so fortunate! I don’t know anyone else who has that experience!!
@@ThePerfumeNest maybe I just have a really sensitive nose? 🤷🏻♀️
Could be. 🙏🏻🙌But every single person I know here in fragcomm. Every. One. Complains of it’s shit performance.
@@ThePerfumeNest maybe I’m hallucinating 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll spray some next week and time it 😂
I love palo santo. I have Carner Barcelona fragrance and few candles. Where did you buy PS sticks? I think I may like it.
Hey there! I love CB! I got my sticks from Whole Foods. Do you have them in Canada?
@@ThePerfumeNest thank you. Yes, we have WF.
@@KarolinaPL06 oh great! They also carry the Neemat oils!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest I live in small town, but I will try to order online and try them on deck. I like smoky smell outside
@@KarolinaPL06 yes!!! Exactly! Me also!!!
Hi Chris, random question: have you tried any perfumes from the house of Il Profvmo, and if so, which ones? I am so tempted by Chocolate. and Vanilla Bourbon, but can't really find a good reviewer I trust.
No but I will now!!🙏🏻❤️❤️🥰
ps - We are currently summering in Asia (Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, etc.) so sorry if these comments are arriving at odd hours, lol!)
Oh how fun wow!!! What an adventure!!!
Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV 🤍
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you, Chris!! 🫶
Aw. That was just the sweetest comment. 🥹And one I will take with me into the weekend. Thank you so much for that. 🙏🏻❤️❤️
If you dare to ware Full Incense then you will appreciate COMME des GARÇONS serie 3 and especially Avignon scent out of this serie. Best!
Yes agree! I now have the entire CdG Incense line
An FYI, falling trees is out of stock everywhere and no longer listed on their website. I did find one shop in Chicago that still had a sample but I passed. What if I liked it, lol?
You are right! They were running a big sale 2 weeks ago for their older range ….fortunately I picked up two of their fragrances because they are gone today. Poof. Two weeks ago they were there.!!😮I’m glad I didn’t hesitate. It is sold out on Lucky Scent as well. Out with the old…in with the new I guess. 😂🤦♀️
Thank you for the video! Have you tried Caput Mundi by Tiziana Terenzi? I am wondering what you think! Thank you!
I haven’t!!! You mean there’s an incense fragrance I don’t have?? 🙌😁
@@ThePerfumeNest I am sure you will like it!!! It’s divine! For me at least)
@@svetlanapeterka4642 Thank you!!🙏🏻❤️
Which three Scents of Wood fragrances do you like most? You said there were two more besides Sandalwood in Oak.
Hello my dear!!! Praline In Maple, Bread In Chestnut and Oak In Sandalwood. ❤️❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest good to know! I have been wanting to try more from the house but wasn’t sure where to start. Thank you!
Great video. What is your opinion of Benjoin Boheme by Diptyque ?
I love it! And you will see it this Sunday! 😉❤️
I’m a Catholic as well! Find a good traditional Church with Latin Mass, and you’ll get to enjoy the incense each week ;)
Thank you. 🥰
Don't like bubble gum/cotton candy sweet, but love spice...floral 🌹 rose
Ok!!
Hi Chris 🌹Did I hear you say Babycat is being discontinued? That’s so bizarre because it’s a new fragrance 🥺 everyone seems to love it and rave about how amazing it is…
Yes. Im pretty sure I mention that in the video. 🥰Crazy! Like what???🤦♀️😂I mean….why?? Ppl are dying to get their hands on it. Makes no sense.
@@ThePerfumeNest precisely my thoughts 🤪
Divine Vanille by Essential Parfums ❤ (not your typical vanilla) that has incense in it.
I love that perfume!!! I have it and it’s fabulous!!
I know you mentioned it in one of your vanilla videos, so I had to try it and I was not disappointed 🤍☺️
Yay!!!👏🏻❤️❤️
I don’t like incense but I like your videos.😊
Aw!!! You are just the sweetest!!!!!!🤗🥹❤️❤️
Yes please put my name in the hat. Thanks again 🌞💙✨
Ok it’s in there!!🤞👏🏻
Mystic Incense sounds fantastic but not sure I need it since I own ES??
No you are good. ES is the better version although Mystic is yummy. You do not need both. 🥰🥰
I like palo santo too for my house
Yes!!!❤️❤️
Great video! Incense is a note that I struggled with when I was first starting out in my fragrance journey but noticed that more and more of my more recent LOVES have a note of incense! I wish I could put my nose through the screen and sniff all your blotters! 😂
Oh my goodness I was in total heaven in that room filming! I don’t exactly know when I really started to love incense in perfumes…maybe when I started getting into niche perfumes because that is where I found it mostly. I would choose it over vanilla. Shocking. I know. 😂❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest Chergui by Serge Lutens was a fragrance that took me a while to pick up because I was afraid of incense but turns out to be one that i love so much. It’s so warm and comforting yet fierce! I feel like Khaleesi from Game of Thrones when I wear it! 🤣❤️🔥
@@claireb.349 Aw!!! So cute!! I love that!!!
Now why would YSL discontinue Babycat? I tell ya these companies do the strangest things.
I know right??!! They need to get their act together!!!
I'm building a sample list of Incense fragrance. Any suggestions?
What sounded interesting from the video to you? I’m also doing an updated video in the next few weeks
@ThePerfumeNest Mystic Incense ,and Mushin Japanese Incense. Sounds like something good.
I have smellled incense in church. But only perfum i like with incense in it is delina exclusif 🤨
Well that is an excellent one! ❤️👏🏻
Yay 🙏
🥰🥰
Is fULL iNSENSE SMOKEY BURNED OR UNBURNED?
On the unburned side.
@@ThePerfumeNest I see, can you suggest smoky burned out kind of incense perfume pls
9:25 it’s a very chewy incense 😅
Subbed ✅
Aw thank you!!🙏🏻💕
You Forget « fille en aiguilles by Serge Lutens » - Love it so but they tripled the price🥺
Aw yes I know lots of ppl love that one…it just didn’t work out for me. But thx for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!!
Супер,огромное спасибо!!!!!
???? Huh? 🤣
Love this video! Also, are you still planning on doing your top cleanly made fragrances? I know you mentioned that you were working on that several videos ago. I would love to hear your list on cleanly made fragrances!
Yes!!! I have so many I’m trying to figure out a way to do it. Next week during the week. 👏🏻At least get a start on them.
Ohh yay, I can’t wait! Thank you!
