By the editors · 2 min readIncense Sunset opens with a brief mandarin orange note — warm and slightly sweet — that softens within minutes and sets up a cedar-and-smoke pairing. The incense base is the dominant impression: dry and resinous rather than sweet, closer to church resin than to boutique oud. There is no meaningful evolution after the opening; what arrives in the first few minutes is what stays on skin. The performance is modest, sitting close and fading after a few hours. It won't compete with dedicated incense compositions, but at its price point delivers a clean, wearable austerity suited to casual autumn and winter use.
