Trầm hương (Olibanum)

The resinous depth here is exactly what I’ve been hunting for—it smells like actual church incense, not a synthetic candle. I dabbed a bit on my scarf this morning and the warm, slightly smoky trail is still clinging to it hours later.

I’ve worn a lot of incense-style scents, but this one feels less like perfume and more like sitting in a quiet chapel with the resin burning nearby. The drydown stays warm and slightly sweet without turning powdery, which is exactly what I hoped for.

The opening is pure, resinous frankincense—exactly what I hoped for, though it settles closer to the skin than I expected. It lasts a few hours on me as a subtle, meditative scent. Solid pick if you want that classic churchy note without it being overpowering.
