Our verdict on Scuro: Favourite

A brighter, more approachable incense offering that's surprisingly cheerful. Some find its longevity a let-down, especially considering the price, but those who love it, really love it. It's a fresh take on a classic idea, though perhaps not groundbreaking.

About

Scuro opens with a vibrant, peppery kick, mingling with a bright bergamot and a distinctive elemi resin that lends an airy, almost pine-like aspect. As it settles, the initial spice gives way to a soft, floral jasmine heart, subtly spiced with cardamom. The dry down is a comforting embrace of creamy cashmere and guaiac woods, underscored by smoky incense, warm amber, and a touch of vanilla sweetness, grounding the earlier brightness in a meditative depth.
