Montale Full Incense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Pierre Montale. Full Incense opens with Incense and Elemi, settles into a heart of Cedar and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Labdanum. Montale's Full Incense carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is exactly what it says on the tin: full-on, unadulterated incense. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its authentic churchy vibes and detractors finding it too linear or unwearable. Don't blind buy unless you live for frankincense.

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.

About

Montale's Full Incense delivers a potent blast of liturgical incense, resinous and balsamic with a dry, woody backbone. Imagine olibanum and labdanum mingling with cedar and a hint of patchouli. It evokes ancient cathedrals and smouldering resins, maintaining a consistent, linear progression from opening to dry-down.
