Olibanum
by Ava Luxe

When I first tried this EDP - I must say I was taken a back. I was new to niche perfumery and I felt this was overly strong, acomplete assault of my senses.
Now a few years later, it is a wonder ! I love this but I think it is probably discontinued by Ava Luxe now.
Rich ,strong, deep olibanum - it smells pure ,the muk is over shadowed by the frankincense in all honesty .Quite linear- you must absolutely love frankincense to love this one.
Huge longevity and better than average sillage- my sample wafts even though it is closed. . Something about this scent smells magical.

Frankincense but do not think a lovely incense, rather a hiper super strong pine resine on bitterest neroli. Gave me a strong headache in just a few minutes. I really cannot understand myrr or olibanum to be used in scents. They are reppelling more than charming. Of course i am a kind of person who cannot understand people eating chilies or wasabi heavily and find that masochistic but olibanum and myrr is even more unbelievable as wasabi is never the first item of a meals content.
