The biggest church I´ve visit is St Paul´s Cathedral in London. What on earth does St Paul´s Cathedral has to do with CdG´s Avignon? A lot actually, but the one thing I really think of is the space they have in common.

Even a small countryside church can have the ability to making me feel little. Little in a pleasant way tough.

CdG´s Avignon has that very space in it. It is the smell of a catholic church during mass, says the one´s who knows. I don´t. Well, maybe all kind of churches and big holy buildings has that space in common? I am curious to find out.

Avignon is the smell of the big space in a somewhat cold and old stone building. Avignon is the smell of a building where thousands and thousands of candles has been burned trough the years. Avignon is the smell of incense, insence so often used in the building that if we carry the benches out in the sun, they would still smell of the incense for a long time. Avignon is the smell of golden covered wooden carvings and brass chandelers.

Yes, I do love Avignon. I am so happy I´ve finally tried it. But, I´m not sure I want a bottle of it. I am not sure if I really want to go around smelling like all that big emptiness and corrupted holyness. I think it could make me feel like I am walking around like some kind of heretic. Maybe some days that would make me feel cool, some days sad.

Avignon could be the worlds No 1 emo-perfume...

Try it? Of course.

I keep forgetting to sign in. To copypaste the review I just committed without doing so:
Goes on like bayberry and beeswax then fades down into a churchy incense, but there's a musty note that doesn't go away, like the inside of an old deserted house. I love incense fragrances and most of this one is great, but that musty note is a deal breaker.

Oh, man is this stuff good...I like incense fragrances (got Aedes de Venustes for my beloved, and I REALLY want Amouage Jubilation XXV)...and this is one of the BEST. Reminds me of this time in 1987 when I stole a case of Champagne (Veuve Cliquot, my fave)and me and a bunch of my punk rocker friends broke into a Catholic church in Chelsea, Massachusetts...drank the wine, smoked hash, and I had sex with a beautiful dreadlocked black punk girl on the altar...sorry if that offends anybody, but it's probably the best use that that place has ever been put to...we cleaned the place up afterwards, too.

A little goes a long way with this scent. Through out the day, you will be transported to a cathedral during high mass. The smokiness of the frankincense and patchouli may through some of you back to the 70's. The dry down will leave you wondering if you have repent enough over the over indulges of how sinfully the vanilla notes keep enticing you.

I received this as an gift. This is my second fragrance from this CdG Serries #3 (the 1st being Kyoto). At first it is intense but warms up beautifully. This scent brought back many memories of my days being an alter boy. The next one in line for me is Quarzazate. I recommend these CdG Series for anyone who is looking for that unique fragrance.
