Incenso Notturno
Elemi and white pepper open with a bright, resinous sharpness before lemon peel lifts the accord into something almost citric. Then oud and incense arrive together and the composition's character becomes clear: this is a night fragrance in the tradition of church incense and darkened rooms. Damask rose in the heart softens the incense accord without neutralizing it, and the nutmeg-cinnamon combination keeps the spice register present through the mid-stage. Ambergris and sandalwood in the base give the incense a warmth that holds close through the evening.
Why We Carry This
Incense-oud compositions are common enough that only well-executed ones earn the shelf. What distinguishes Incenso Notturno is the elemi opening and the damask rose heart, both of which give the formula dimensions beyond the standard dark oriental construction. Exceptional longevity, as the name promises.
