Balenciaga Incense Perfumum is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Incense Perfumum settles into a heart of Cedar, Labdanum, and Frankincense. Balenciaga's Incense Perfumum carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is a proper divisive beast. Some adore its mystical, gothic cathedral vibe, while others find it a dated, soap-like disappointment with questionable longevity. It's a 'love it or hate it' incense-heavy experience.

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Date

Its strong, churchy incense profile makes it unsuitable for an office or casual wear, while its unique depth and bold character lend themselves to formal events or cooler evening dates. Despite some complaints about light performance, its overall intensity and specific scent profile dictate a more reserved, formal use.

About

Incense Perfumum opens with a potent, almost fizzy dose of frankincense, layered over a woody foundation of cedar. As it settles, a warm, resinous amber and labdanum emerge, creating a balsamic depth that's both ancient and contemplative. It's a journey from sharp incense to a softer, spiced warmth.
