Series 3 Incense was launched in 2002 and was devoted to the five main spiritual teachings of the humanity:
Avignon – Catholicism
Ouarzazate – Islam
Zagorsk – Orthodox Christianity
Jaisalmer – Hinduism
Kyoto – Buddhism and Shintoism

Each of the fragrances is named after the cities significant for those teachings.

Kyoto is Buddhism and Shintoism, a fragrance for meditation, named after the city of Kyoto, considered to be the heart of Japan. Kyoto is calm and wise, it takes us through the temples of the city, making us think and reconcile. The eternal green aromatic cypress mixes with calm and powerful elegance of cedar; vetiver invites us to listen to the breathing of black and warm earth. Powerful, yet not rough, Kyoto can also be found in a form of fragrant candle for the house.

The main notes are: incense, cypress oil, coffee, teak wood, patchouli, amber, cedar and immortal flower.

Totally agree with flannelman's comment on Kyoto. To me Kyoto is a beautiful incense. The most wearable scent in the CdG's incense collection. When spray Kyoto, I have the feeling that I am overwhelmed warmly and peacefully with the calm, the deep, the smooth, just like when I'm standing in a pagoda in Japan.
To compare with C.Lacroix's Tumulte, Kyoto's smoother, lighter, deeper, less masculin, while Tumulte is dry, stronger and edger. However, they are really similar to eachother.
Onething that I complain about Kyoto: its longervity is not so good.
Anyway, Kyoto is really a signature incense scent. 8,5/10

I have been wanting to try Kyoto for a long time and was not disappointed when I finaly did. This is a pretty, elegant, very wearable incense and cedar fragrance with a delicate hint of fruitiness. It's soft, round and ethereal.

It is of course tempting to make a comparison with another incense and cedar fragrance: Christian Lacroix's Tumulte. They are undoubtedly in the same family, but there are important differences. Tumulte, for instance, is much, much dryer and has a definite harshness in the top notes. Kyoto on the other hand opens very smoothly and even with a hint of sweetness. There is also a difference on the skin: Kyoto seems to be warming it, while Tumulte does not. On the whole I would say that Tumulte is more rugged and masculine, Kyoto more elegant and peaceful.

If you like incense, try Kyoto. The olfactory trip it will take you on is well worth it...

I would say this is my favorite CdG fragrance in my collection at this time. Every time I wear this scent, I feel like I have traveled to Japan visit the beautiful Buddhist Temples.
I can imagine my self meditating in front of a large Buddha statue while the beautiful incense is surrounding me. This scent brings me peace of mind and tranquility.

Aeternitas, I agree with your description of this fragrance. It does remind me of a "cedar wood campire." This fragrance was added shortly after my first comment. I truely enjoy wearing this fragrance and it always puts me into a relaxed state of mind. CdG fragrances are a must to any collection. I plan on adding each of The Incense Series to my collection.

I agree with mariotgomez, if you haven't tried the incense perfumes of CdG, you should :) They are truly amazing. I have tried this one, Kyoto, and Avignon. Kyoto was my favorite. I smell like I have been sitting around a cedar wood campfire and I love the smell of campfires and cedar. Of course, it smells distinctly of incense. It's amazing and I must have it!
