Incense extreme
Eau de Parfum
by Tauer Perfumes



The Scoop
If you crave a a deep and soulful incense, one that is pushes the boundaries of our incense offerings thus far, you will absolutely revel in Andy Tauer’s much anticipated new creation. Incense Extreme is a complex, moving and wonderfully comforting. In fact, imagine all things you love about incense perfumes, and they are all here in this amazing new release. The powerful impact of rich, deep frankincense is strengthened by the presence of spices and ambergris. The fiery piquancy of coriander and the sweet ambery undertone, which are to us Tauer’s signature in perfume, are the characteristics that make this incense Extreme. Having said that, the fragrance is neither too heavy nor too forceful. It has an unexpectedly airy, uplifting quality that we adore and the warm softness that makes it such a perfect comfort scent. A definitive incense perfume, for the lovers of the incense genre and the fans of Andy Tauer’s talent.

I don't know why but Tauer's perfumes seem to require at least a couple of hours before they transform to something attractive on my skin. After the first 2 hours, this transforms in a somewhat more quiet but also more interesting fragrance, where -at last- other notes other than the frankincense shine through; cedar and pepper the most notable. But in any case, it's a pure incense scent which, though comforting, I cannot wear on its own: would be great for layering with many other perfumes though. In comparison to the CDG series, this is closer to Zagorsk for me, but in a softer way.

This is a very clear, bright, sheer incense (strong, though!), not at all like musty/smoky Avignon or any of the others in the CdG Incense series. It (and Tauer's Incense Rose) are both a little too ambery for me, but they're extremely well done.

Soap. Very strong soap. I not only washed this off I scrubbed it with alcohol.

“Extreme” is not to extreme a word to describe this, very powerful coming out of the bottle, can “stay in the nose’ for some time. The smell is “churchy” at first with it’s clear resin notes, but, as your eyes raise towards heaven, your meditation is broken—something is cooking in the kitchen, and it may not be entirely innocent. The dry down is wonderfully warm, evocative and complex. I have found it best to put on just a bit, and then a bit more… after an hour or two.

I see many comparisons to the CD incense series scents and while I like Avignon and Kyoto too, I think this is very distinctive. The cedar component really stands out in a significant way. It is really smooth and very long lasting.

Upon opening my sample vial, I thought, "Gross! It smells like turpentine!" However, against my better judgment, I still proceeded to slather it on. Thank goodness I did! As it warmed on my skin, there was the revelation that I had found "my" smell -- a clean, intense scent of wood, which did indeed remind me of working with oil paints and canvas. Incense extreme is as entirely pure and completely sensual. Having grown up in love with High Mass and stone and stained glass because of the paradox of a cathedral's other-worldiness and material durability, this reminded me of staring at the magnificent rose window at Chartres. Although some might find it an evening fragrance, I wear all day long and receive many compliments. Incense Extreme struck me as the most "skin like" of the set of incense perfumes samples I received. Although I liked the CdG Avignon and Kyoto, they smelled more synthetic/chemically on me that Incense Extreme.

Nothing like CdG incense series - and way too strong to be pleasant.

My initial response to Incense Extreme was, why should I wear this rather than CdG Avignon? But I think this frag really shines in the midnotes & drydown ... the resemblance to the CdG frags is superficial. And yeah, it's strong so some might find it too much.

By pure coincidence, I sampled this immediately after trying Tann Rokka, another dry-woods cedar scent. Incense extreme has a sweeter vibe than TR. The incense note is strangely clean rather than smoky. Frankincense adds a nice roundness as well, to balance out the cedarwood. I don't see myself wearing it. Not all that bad, though.

You know, it's strong, but it kind of grew on me. I felt exotic wearing it. Got a few compliments, too. Don't know if I'd spend $95 for the full bottle, though.
