05 - Incense Extreme

"I built built this fragrance around a natural CO2 extract of Boswellia serrata, aka incense. This natural scent inspired me to create different perfumes, with "Incense extreme" being the most abstract, almost cubist and uncompromising interpretation. It captures the roughness of the climate of the semi desert where Boswellia trees thrives. It is translucent like the first whiff of incense smoke from Boswellia resin on red gleaming coal. Yet, it is crisp like a night in the desert." -Andy Tauer

The Boswellia serrata extract is the central cornerstone of the fragrance, at an extreme concentration of 25%, rounded off with dry woods and ambergris in the background. Soft iris balances the incense in the heart of the fragrance. And coriander and the freshness of petit grain set the accents in the opening.
