Rien Intense Incense

Very strong presence. I would describe it as an extremely smoky, lacquer-like, and dirty-synthetic soap – as if you were trying to scrub something clean that doesn't actually want to be clean at all. As an olfactory experience, it is absolutely worth a sample. An unusual fragrance with a good deal of character.

Resinous all-purpose glue, definitely synthetic ('modern'), leathery, smoky, corpse flower, sweetish. Animalic, but no animal smells like that. That was still okay, certainly innovative twelve years ago. But when later a bicycle inner tube mixed with an oil change, I still wanted to give it a chance. After I then smelled a toy cap gun at the application point in the drydown, it became too much for me. A provocative fragrance, for lovers of provocative fragrances, nothing more. Sorry, Parfinity, for the comment; the sample was a gift, after all.

I'm sorry, but I can't detect either leather or incense. I've had the fragrance on my skin for four hours now, and it still smells like a toilet rim block, although it is only noticeable if I hold my arm directly to my nose.
