What do reviewers say about Preludio d'Oriente and Incense Pure?
This is incense done the Italian way, less meditation cushion, more marble courtyard at dusk. The leather in the heart isn't soft. It's smoked. If you've been burned by heavy oud.Preludio d'Oriente
For those who want incense without the smokehouse. Bright, green frankincense that reads more like sap than votive candles, the outdoors cathedral scent Laurie Erickson has perfected since 2010.Incense Pure
