Is there such a fragrance? Like a fruity shisha pipe?

It might sound strange, but I get a strong impression of both from Opium pour Homme by YSL

Maybe Divine L'Homme Sage or Amouage Jubilation XXV...both rather expensive, but they fit your description, IMO.

Also, the discontinued Cacharel Nemo. It's a bit synthetic, but many here like it, and it's definitely a fruity smoke.

Bhiel al02 might be worth checking out.

If you haven't already tried it I suggest you try the original Poison by Dior.It's honeyed blackberries and incence on my skin.

Feminite du Bois came first to my mind. I'd suggest checking to see if you can still acquire the original Shiseido version in the curvy bottle thru an etailer. It should be less expensive than the current Serge Lutens release.

I just remembered-- Hermes Elixir des Merveilles. Robust orange, woods, and incense. Much more incense prominent than FdB. I'll keep editing if I remember more.

Oh, I'm going to second Wazamba, absolutely. No curry whatsoever to me.

The granddaddy of all fruity incense is Encens et Bubblegum by Etat. It's a fruity shisha pipe, boy howdy.

Frapin 1270 comes to mind.

If you want to shell out the big bucks, MDCI's Le Rivage des Syrtes is AMAZING.

Cassini by Oleg Cassini is certainly fruity and incense-y

al02 is a good one, but the musk stands out more than any incense.

Don't overlook Keiko Mecheri's Oliban (plum and incense), Ume (fruity X-mas insence) or Peau de Peche (peaches and incense). Ignore note-listings on these. It's in there.

I am trying to recall if Annayake's Miyako has some plum. It's a great scent.
Yukimi is probably up your alley, too. Fruity with a grounding of incense.

Less attractive options are Hanae Mori's Magical Moon and Chopard Wish. And one of the Joop ones... You might look at that house.
