OnlySunshine Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I wish I could wear that stuff. My mom hates the smell of incense because it gives her a headache and makes her sneeze. It doesn't bother me at all anymore and I absolutely love the smell!

Debra Little Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 [quote name='dUSt' timestamp='1303848824' post='2233552'] [url="http://luckyscent.com/shop/detail.asp?itemid=21900"]http://luckyscent.co...sp?itemid=21900[/url] I ordered a sample for $3 a couple weeks back. I got it. It's AMAZING. I command you all to band together and buy this for me. If not, I will shut phatmass down and ban you all from the internet. Thanks. [img]http://www.luckyscent.com/images/products/21900.jpg[/img] [b]The description:[/b] [i]Powerful and intense, Avignon evokes the medieval city in the south of France which surpassed Rome as the Catholic Church's power center in the 14th century. It's the scent of gothic cathedrals and Papal palaces, of tapestries imbued with centuries of incense. Of cold marble steps, holy relics and dark confessions. The recognizable smells of frankincense and myrrh open the high mass of Avignon, giving way to the almost eye-smarting, gloriously smoky and resinous heart. A dry vanilla and soft Roman chamomile dull the edges of this reverent fragrance. Beautiful, dark and mysterious, Avignon takes its place among the most talked about (and admired) of CdG's entire line.[/i] Avignon Comme des Garcons Series 3: Incense by Bertrand Duchaufour [/quote] I don't think so lol!

dUSt Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I love the descriptions on these things. [img]http://www.luckyscent.com/images/products/33920.jpg[/img] [b]Olibanum by Profumum [color="#FF0000"]$240[/color][/b] [i]Stone walls, gothic archways, flickering candles and chanting voices– all of these are evoked by Olibanum’s fierce opening salvo of incense. But the single strongest image is that of intense purification – of intricate curls of white smoke seeking out and banishing whatever malevolent spirits have gathered in the shadows. This austere beauty mellows into a calm and soothing scent with soft orange blossom emphasizing the airy, floating aspects of the incense and a base of warm and reassuring sandalwood. Lovely and wearable, but with an undercurrent of power and mystery that keeps it infinitely intriguing.[/i] [img]http://www.luckyscent.com/images/products/31505.jpg[/img] [b]Cardinal by HEELEY[color="#FF0000"] $150[/color][/b] [i]A mesmerizing incense blend that comes dangerously close to putting us into an actual trance. It conjures up a grand, stone-walled cathedral -- not dark, dank or gloomy, but a place of light, majesty and infinite calm. We can envision the dreamy tendrils of smoke rising through sunlight streaming in the stained glass windows and feel the reassuring warmth of wood and sun-warmed stone. Airy incense and resinous cistus intermingle with the deep, sweet earthiness of patchouli and vetiver, creating a fragrance that is both spiritual and grounded. Fans of Comme des Garcon’s Incense series (particularly Kyoto and Avignon) will want to try this, as well anyone who has been longing for an incense scent without gothic overtones. Warm and reassuring.[/i] See? And I only asked for the one that costs $80. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
