Incense & Musk Henri Bendel for women

this is purely mystery, reminds me my honeymoon in dubai.different than the rest of the fragrances out there and there is no other fragrance that can be comparable to this particular one. very unique. forbidden, mystery, temptation...when I sniff this fragrance, these are the words that come to my mind. really intense. very assertive. it is like going to a foreign territories and beyond.

Henri Bendel INCENSE & MUSK is a streamlined yet beautiful perfume which truly showcases, as advertised, incense and musk. The incense is warm and dark without being smoky. Incense is quite distinct from both myrrh and oud, I have learned, and INCENSE & MUSK offers a very good rendition of this note.

The musk is clean and imparts a smooth texture to the composition. The patchouli and lotus are so light that this could almost be a two-note wonder. Although the composition is fairly linear, it is a pleasure to wear because the notes are of niche quality. INCENSE & MUSK is much less complicated than Bvlgari BLV NOTTE (another incense-focused perfume) but I actually like this one more.

This edp has great longevity and medium sillage, and I recommend it to both guys and gals who appreciate oriental perfumes, in general, and incense, in particular.
