    Real talk

    This is the skunk in the room, and that's the point. The opening doesn't whisper, it announces itself, then settles into one of the most quietly compelling drydowns this side of a conifer forest.Far NWest
    If you want smoky incense that punches you in the face, look elsewhere. Encens Mythique builds slowly, with aldehydes doing the heavy lifting in the opening before the frankincense quietly takes over. Patience is rewarded here.Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique
