Coreterno Freakincense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Luca Maffei. Freakincense opens with Lime, Violet, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Incense, Elemi, and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Labdanum. Coreterno's Freakincense carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive, artful take on incense, not for everyone but adored by those who get it. Expect an atmospheric, almost spiritual wear that's refreshingly cold rather than overtly smoky.

Composition

Timeline

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.

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual Formal

With moderate longevity and sillage, Freakincense is versatile enough for many occasions, leaning more towards social and evening wear due to its distinct, 'moody' incense character. While it can be worn casually, its uniqueness makes it particularly suitable for dates and less stuffy formal events.

About

Freakincense opens with a startlingly fresh, almost metallic burst of lime and violet, sharpened by pink pepper. This vibrant start quickly settles into a cool, resinous heart where ethereal incense and elemi intertwine with the soft, woody touch of cashmeran. The dry-down becomes a grounding blend of earthy vetiver and patchouli, underscored by the deep, amber warmth of labdanum, creating a surprisingly clean and sensual finish.
