Full Incense Montale for women and men

Very much like CdG Avignon. Slightly more resinous - the difference is most obvious from close distance from the skin - and the sillage lacks the spacious dimension and lush, cool moistness of Avignon. Slightly more intimate and a tad sweeter.

Can't justify owning the both, but this is beautiful and uncompromized incense indeed. Pure and spiritual. Dark and interesting.

Nevertheless, I love it.

Just sampled this, so I promise I'll come back with a more thorough review, but seeing this reminded me that I needed to revisit this fragrance.

At first blush, I get an 80's vibe from this -- something I've felt that i smelled before, perhaps circa 1982. This is very bold, assertive, resiny, yet there's almost a pitched sweetness about it that stands out from the smolder. Strong and masculine are the best initial impressions I can provide. This is smoky yet very cool and breezy where a warm, amber incense would be better captured by say Tom Ford's Amber Absolute (perhaps unfair to compare, there's no amber here, but given the high-mass discourse...).

This is worth test driving for a full-day, now that I'm intrigued. But it's too early to render an opinion.

Montale goes Comme Des Garcons. Bolder than Avignon and slightly less minimalistic but still too literal. A rip-off.

Rating: 4/10

great when I smell it from the bottle, but on me it is kind of sweet and powdery copy of Avignon, unfortunately. And a much worse copy

Spicy church. Imagine attending mass with the spice girls in the choir. ;)

I don't know what is wrong with my head or nose, but some incense fragrances are simply murderous: Avignon, Shanaan, Cardinal - god, kill me now. Hello migraine!

Full Incense is - unfortunately - very similar to those three mentioned above. Pure, sharp frankincense, too clear and straightforward for me. It doesn't change much, I get only a hint of sour cedar wood and acrid elemi. And then my head explodes.

Love it :) Perfect incense for me. It's somewhere between Cardinal and Avignon, really close to both but different somehow :) For sure it will find it's place in my collection !!

FI is not for me as I like warm incensy fragrances.
This one is stone cold and inapproachable - like an artful statue made by a famous sculptor. Nice to look at but you would not want to touch it.
If it comes to incense I prefer Messe de Minuit or Preludio d´Oriente with their warm comforting embrace.

as i told you i bought it and it is wonderful !! there is full of incense in, and the openning is really harsh and smells real oliban resin like if burning now ! noticed that the openning is nearly the same that Wazamba from Parfums d'Empires , but while wazamba begins harsh and continue to very solar balsamic incense, Full Incense after min of strong resin perfume turns to some floral citrusy incense and becomes lighter , while wazamba is strong from the begining to the end !

i love both of them, Full incense is really perfect for day and hot climat, while wazamba is the scent for the night and cold days, and for great ceremonies !

It's wonderful, wonderful incense... Like a Cardinal by Heeley: dark, sharp, aggressive... Glorious!!!
