Labyrinthine dark blend, still intriguing after years
Incense Night is a Dua original blend from 2019, at first a high-priced metal plaque entry that’s now on the vaulted list a reasonable price, a dark, mysterious, pungent blend consisting of a variety of fairly intense notes, like cypriol, tobacco smoke, violet leaf, birch, rum, leather, and of course, incense itself. It starts out superlatively spicy and mellows out gradually over time, as one would expect, and it generally devolves into a resinous potion of sorts, not a gourmand, but rather a blend of the sharpness of the violet and rum with woods, resins, smoke, and darkness, an experience that ranges from the raw to the sophisticated. Very interesting, innovative, strong, but not one I reach for often. High in uniqueness and specialness, lower in utility.
