The review below nails it really, except I don't feel there's a great deal missing here...I really enjoyed Blue Encens. Some other reviews are a little harsh on this one and if Blue Encens is Comme des garcon doing a 'fresh... aquatic' then they've succeeded in making a highly original one. I can just about see why someone might think that it does have a slight aquatic feel but it's more of a warm spicy amber to me. Cardamom is very present in the opening and something slightly sweet(whatever the incense consists of maybe?)and warm against a backdrop of amber. It's that amber warmth and the pepper which makes me think of Prada Luna Rossa Extreme. I first tried these in the summer(before LRE was even out) but got a little confused by the similar bottles now I have samples of each so I can review them properly. Longevity is acceptable and projection is soft but present. Personally I love this!
