Our verdict on Series 3 Incense: Avignon: Statement

This is *the* reference for a pure Catholic church incense, bar none. It's divisive; some find it a meditative masterpiece, others a dusty, unwearable relic. Performance complaints are consistent, so be prepared to overspray or reapply.

Its distinctive, churchy incense profile makes it a bold, unique choice, better suited for cooler weather and intimate or formal settings. Many reviews describe it as a 'personal' or 'meditative' scent, worn for oneself or for specific moods rather than daily public wear, especially given its variable projection.

About

Step into a stone cathedral with Avignon. Initial aldehydic brightness and subtle chamomile give way to a deeply balsamic heart, rich with labdanum and warm spices. The grand finale is an enveloping incense blend, featuring frankincense and myrrh, supported by woody notes of cedar and oakmoss, with a hint of musky vanilla providing a comforting, sacred warmth.
