I smelled this at the Palais Royal store. It has incense first and foremost, then thyme. It's pretty lovely, I want to try it on my skin. Update: I have a bottle and it's becoming a favourite.. The opening is a massive, photorealistic, bone-dry whack of thyme. Imagine the lavender of Pour Un Homme de Caron before that gives way to the softer vanilla etc, it's like that but thyme. Not really like a perfume, more of a spa aromatherapy treatment. But then, oh my god, the incense dry-down.... If you love incense perfumes as I do, check this one out. The dry down introduces just the slightest touch of something sweet, with a lovely, non-burning, churchey incense, and the delicate remnants of the thyme, and it stays like this (quite close to the skin) for much longer than I expected. So while the opening didn't make my heart skip, the dry-down does. I mean to be honest, the Lutens-Sheldrake dream duo can't really do any wrong for me, so I'm glad this didn't disappoint either. If you know the others in the line, it is instantly part of that DNA, but it's probably the most different, in terms of not being fresh aldehydes, soapy etc. Update: Today I sprayed CDG Avignon on one arm and was immediately reminded of Point du Jour, and wanted to see if the similarity was real. So I sprayed PdJ on the other arm. While the opening of the latter is herby, it quickly dries down into the incense that indeed is extremely similar to Avignon (disclaimer: I only have a sample of Avignon so haven't spent proper time with it). This isn't a bad thing in my book, and I prefer PdJ, as it performs better on my skin. ....and I just went to the "reminds me" section to put in Avignon, and voilà, it's already there, told you so lol.
