The quiz
Welcome to Guess the Reviewer*in, the quiz for young and old perfume lovers! Let's start with the first round, who might be hiding here?

'The olfactory round begins with a salty note that originally evokes the sea, but at the same time does not connote cacophemistic aquatics, paraphrasing them without asserting the traditional notes (calone and co.). A sublime freshness resonates, as if reminiscent of Hesperides, becoming successively more striking, mysterious, because miraculous, not instantly explicable from the notes given. Fresh, cool, but not stygian. Salient is the reciprocity of the notes, which deterministically form constituents...'

Ding! I know him, he has such a beard and no hair on his head... what's his name again...... Qwitza or Jitza or something like that... oh, Menno! Well, we should already know the name, with a beard and no hair on his head, there are clearly too many people who could fit this description! Let's just move on to the next reviewer, maybe you'll have better luck:

'...light and bright incense, spicy and resinous at the same time. Like light fog over Ses Salines, the dream beach on my beloved Ibiza. But I could also imagine it while running, when after the first 20 kilometers, having just warmed up, I come steeply up the mountain into the forest where the mist catches between the fir trees. I often think of Cašmir, who I fell in love with as a little girl. He has nothing to do with this at all, but I just had to mention him, my chickens love him too...'

Ding! That was difficult, but I think that's Pollita...?
Correct! The Black Forest Pollita! The first 5 euros go straight into the piggy bank! Let's continue right away, who is hiding here:

'Zisch!'

Ding! That's easy, it's the Axiomatic, it always hisses a lot.
Yes, that was probably a bit too simple, but it's nice that we got to the point so quickly. On to the last one in the round:

'...and you see the lanterns in which myrrh glows, casting shadows on house walls, a hint of wood, how the incense resins gradually burn out, only sparks bloom briefly before everything goes out. The myrrh-calyptic riders push on, out of the nave into resinous expanses, whirling up sweet earth...'

Ding! But I know him now, he's got a beard like that and no hair on his head, that's Floyd, the old forest gnome!
And that's right! And if you can now guess which fragrance our reviewers have described, I'll double the prize again! Such fresh, spicy incense with a slightly aquatic note? That can only be Acqua di Giò Profumo, right? Certainly not! Acqua di Giò, I can't believe it... take your pig and off you go... all these philistines here... really, I'm not Jörg Dräger here...

--------------------

To summarize briefly (not that our esteemed reviewers haven't already described it perfectly): a wonderfully un-aquatic incense fragrance that is only reminiscent of the sea due to the salty note in the first half hour and retains something fresh and limey throughout (probably from the incense). The base is more resinous, sweeter and warmer with a hint of myrrh. Great, simple and clear (and of course has nothing at all to do with Acqua di Giò Profumo, so you can kind of understand the presenter, even if his reaction was of course not very professional).

Chapel Sunday scent
Spicy, mineral incense with a hint of salt air. Intense resinous. A bit too loud, but a special mixture of notes from very different spheres: Resins and aquatic were combined here. An ethereally fresh scent (salt, ozone, maritime) is mixed with oriental notes, but these remain spicy (cardamom, patch, tonka) and do not immediately conjure up the whole divan. Rather a chapel on a cliff surrounded by spicy herbs. And of course three times incense, if you want to believe the pyramid of scents, and my nose does. Nothing is sweet here, by the way, the myrrh combines freshness and sacral smoke and stands above the fragrance. And clearly and all day long. An oddity, a composition that smells new and is familiar. Not for daily, more like a chapel sunday scent.

A fantastic incense scent
Thanks to @Marieposa I was able to test Copal Azur. This fragrance is a revelation! It is - with the exception of the pure essential oil especially the Hogari incense (Boswellia sacra) from Oman - the best incense fragrance I have ever smelled. But from the beginning.

Initially, I smell especially the maritime and ozonic notes. Even then, the scent is a delight. After a few minutes, however, the incense hits full force. And what an incense! I've only ever known this scent from an attar with high quality genuine Hogari incense (alternatively Hojari), for many the best incense in the world. It doesn't smell smoky as you might think of incense, but fresh, slightly citrusy and slightly minty. Incidentally, this is how it smells and tastes when carefully smoked, if you dare to eat it as a raw material, which you can do without hesitation, at least in the case of the green Hogari. I am therefore very sure that genuine hogari incense is used here. The scent is unmistakable. Who likes rather smoky incense, I recommend to test times Boswellia papyrifera from Ethiopia or Boswellia neglecta, bestals raw material for smoking.

And this distinctive aroma remains throughout the entire, quite good shelf life of the fragrance. Later join still a little the earthy or earth oil-like notes of patchouli us myrrh to it, but in each case very discreetly. The other notes remain inconspicuous, but what makes nothing at all, because you can enjoy the almost unadulterated incense.

Copal Azur has the potential to become one of my favorite fragrances, and will also move in with me in the foreseeable future because of its amazingly affordable price.

Aedes de Venustas Copal Azur
Short Review When you open and read the notes of this perfume, the first thing you notice is the incense in all three phases of the scent. I picked up the bottle because it was immediately special to me.

It opens with notes of ozone and gives me a strong smoky note. The smell immediately took me to another dimension, a cold island in spring or fall, standing on a rocky shore while strong waves lapped the same shore.
This is not a playful scent for summer, nor is it a concatenation that has the task of evoking emotion in another person. I think of this scent as a calming cloud for the wearer.
Then mild resins come on stage with incense. Frankincense is not at all churchy and does not have that character. The further it goes towards the base, the warmer the scent is, probably because of the base containing amber, tonka and myrrh - I don't recognize these notes individually. What annoys me about it is the aura, which could be bigger.
The longevity is up to 8-10 hours. I see it in a woman the same as in a man.

WEIHRAUCH - not again
After watching the first YouTube video, I was really keen on the Copal_Azur. Then I had to read through it here and was delighted that it was on offer in the souk, as it's not that easy to get hold of.

First of all: if you like incense, you will LOVE Copal Azur! It's so refreshingly different! Not heavy, like all the other brands that work with frankincense (mostly from Oman). It comes across as very fresh, almost light on its feet!
Frankincense is clearly the main player in this fragrance, but it is joined by a fresh sea breeze that gives it this lightness. I can even imagine Copal Azur in summer, as it is finally not the typical citrusy fragrance. Cardamom and tonka are probably also responsible for it being so rounded.

For me, a clear fragrance recommendation for anyone looking for something unusual for the warmer days.
