By the editors · 2 min read**05-incense-extreme** opens with a bright crack of petitgrain that quickly gives way to its true subject: incense rendered in high definition. This is resinous smoke given weight and warmth, the kind that clings to wool and lingers in stone corridors. Tauer builds it from the ground up rather than misting it overhead, so you get the full density of burning frankincense without the sharpness that sometimes makes church incense unwearable.
As it settles, amber and cedar provide a glowing foundation that keeps the composition from going cold or austere. The effect is contemplative without being solemn, substantial without feeling heavy. It wears close but projects with authority when warmed by skin.
For those who find most incense fragrances either too thin or too ornamental, this offers a more direct approach: smoke, resin, wood, warmth. It suits anyone drawn to the meditative side of perfumery, those quiet compositions that ask for attention rather than demanding it.
