Reve d'Ossian

Oriza L. Legrand Reve d'Ossian is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1900. The fragrance opens with Pine and Incense, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, Opoponax, Elemi, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Tolu Balsam, Frankincense, and Myrrh.

Our verdict on Reve d'Ossian: Acquired

Prepare for a proper church service in a bottle. This is a divisive one - some find it absolutely divine, a true masterpiece of atmospheric incense. Others reckon it's nothing short of nauseating. You'll either love or loathe its strong, unyielding character.

Date

Its potent projection and unique 'churchy' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, though some find it acceptable in smaller doses. It's an excellent choice for a formal event or a chilly date night where its warmth and depth can truly shine, but too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.

About

Opens with an exhilarating blast of pine and frankincense, almost fizzy and bracingly fresh, setting an immediate spiritual tone. It quickly settles into a rich tapestry of smoky guaiac wood, warm benzoin, and spiced cinnamon, balanced by the balsamic sweetness of opoponax and myrrh. The drydown is a comforting, resinous amber with a lingering churchy warmth.
