Incensi

by Lorenzo Villoresi

Lorenzo Villoresi Incensi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997, created by Lorenzo Villoresi. Incensi opens with Elemi, Galbanum, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Juniper, Labdanum, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Styrax, Incense, Benzoin, and Tolu Balsam. Lorenzo Villoresi's Incensi carries a Statement verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one is a proper head-scratcher and not for the faint-hearted. It opens with a brutal green punch that divides opinion sharply, morphing into a complex, warm, balsamic incense that some hail as king, while others deem it too medicinal or overly sweet. You'll either adore its unique journey or scrub it off in disdain.

Its potent initial green notes might be a bit much for a conservative office, but its sophisticated dry-down shines in formal settings or on a date. It's a complex, long-lasting scent, making it less suitable for casual or sport activities.

About

Incensi kicks off with an unapologetically green and zesty shock of galbanum and bergamot, perhaps a whisper of apple. This sharp introduction swiftly mellows, ushering in a warm, spicy core of cinnamon and peppery juniper. The real magic unfolds in the dry down, where a rich tapestry of amber, balsamic resins like opoponax and tolu balsam, and a distinct, dry incense emerge, underscored by creamy sandalwood.
