What do reviewers say about Encens Japonais and Interlude Man?
Most incense fragrances hit you with smoke. This one doesn't. The opening is fresh, almost citrusy, powdery iris and bright orange before the smudging even begins.Encens Japonais
It does not try to please everyone, and that is precisely why it works. The spice-and-resin architecture is bold but never bloated. A statement piece that rewards patience.Interlude Man
