Stunning opening, quickly becomes a little too much. Don't get me wrong I'm a BIG incense fan but context is everything and this fragrance smells of heavy olibanum (not much of the fresh, lemony uplift and fizz it can have.) Myrrh which smells divine but starts to cloy on me like caramel or toffee or something after a short time. Then drying down more to the fantastic labdanum, which is my favourite material but too much of a good thing is definitely the phenomena going on here. I love the smell of these resins, don't get it twisted I'd just rather see this incense accord in a perfume composition but I also know who difficult it is to balance. I'm conflicted about such a potent resinous attar and whether I'd wear it.
