Osmo Scents Encens Epice Il Profvmo for men

Doc Elly's review has is right. There is a horrible synthetic smell that completely overwhelms anything else. I couldn't wait for the drydown...it was an immediate scrubber and the smell of the dial soap on my skin afterwards was better than this stuff. This sample was immediately tossed.

Nice opening, disappointing drydown. Encens Epicé starts with promising resinous notes joined by dark green/brown coniferous with an overall effect that's at the same time smoky but light, deep yet somehow clean. Woods play an important role throughout. In the drydown the scent turns to be a bit sweeter and sort of "synthetic/soapy" (forgive the lack of better words) winking at the "air-freshener" type of stuff.

Not exactly unpleasant but too little incisive for my likes and for its name.

Rating: 5.5/10

I've bought it for my husband, but he uses it rare, so I've started to use it myself and I can say this one can be unisex if you are not afraid of experiments. the beginning is masculine, and after it settles down there comes lemon sweetness, which can be found in feminine scents. I can't say that this scent is too synthetic and it doesn't give me a headache. Lasting power is average.

Couldn't agree more.
This perfume is plain awful.

Not a bad start, indeed very spicy, but the later, the worse.
The heart smells like a very cheap, artificial version of Le Male, and the base is something between a shaving foam, a cheap shampoo scented 'cosmetic' and an aftershave you can buy in a kiosk for 5 bucks.
It even makes my throat dry.

Extremely bad!

Not at all what I expected, it starts out smelling like a commercial deodorant soap plus a small pinch of nutmeg. Huh? Where’s the incense? Not one to judge a ‘fume by its top notes, I let it develop, hoping for better things, but over an hour later there was little or no change, and all I could detect was still essence of Dial soap. I suppose it is a feat, in and of itself, to create a totally cheap and synthetic smelling scent out of high-quality, all natural ingredients, but it’s not one that most perfumers aspire to.

Maybe there’s a magical drydown hours into the scent, but I don’t need to spend the whole day waiting for it. This is the biggest sampling disappointment that I've had in a long time.
