Olibanum Gardenia

Our verdict on Olibanum Gardenia: Acquired

This one's a proper head-scratcher. A genuinely divisive take on incense that some will find an 'ecclesiastical mischief' of tropical joy, while others will be utterly baffled by its 'weird' and 'cloying' contrasts. Don't blind buy unless you're feeling adventurous.

About

Opens with a fleeting flash of zesty lime and bright neroli, hinting at something fresh before giving way to something far more complex. The heart introduces a prominent, though often debated, gardenia note alongside rich labdanum and a clean, resinous frankincense. It settles into a warm, woody base of cedar and sandalwood, underpinned by creamy coconut that sometimes leans a little 'soapy'. It’s an unusual dance between clean and 'funky', sacred and tropical.
