I wish it smelled as nice on me as it does on all of you. I gave my wrist to my DH to sniff, and he immediately said, "Deep Woods Off!" (sigh)

Kyoto, masculine? On the contrary, I find this to be the most feminine, refined and delicate in CdG's whole Incense series, a seamless blend of cedar, vetiver, and pine. Not the sharp pine of car...

Big disappointment. Had my hopes up for this one, but on me it's pure citronella, just as another reviewer had commented.

Another stunner from the Incense series. This one is a fresh, green, creamy and woodsy combo of incense, cedar and cypress oil. It is perhaps the most masculine scent from Series 3, but I find it...

What a shame, I was hoping for a lovely cedary incense and all I can smell is citronella on me which reminds me of the outdoors, but only in an insect repellent sort of way :( Damn skin chemistry!...

This is a gorgeous, woodsy incense scent. It reminds me a bit of Tam Dao, but I like this so much better on my skin. I find this to be a very creamy, warm, slightly green yet dry fragrance that is...

I'm in the "masculine" camp on this one - though in my mind, the man wearing this would be the smooth-chested, shiny-haired, aloof-but-smoldering urban type rather than the burly, hairy, sweaty...

Kyoto is inspired by fine Japanese incense, but falters from that ideal. The opening is sharp and perfumey (cedar and astringent white flowers). At the first whiff, I can scarcely believe it is...

Keeter sent me an amazing array of CDG scents, and I could not refrain from trying one... so I am wearing Kyoto today. Now here'e the reason why I'm admitting this. I'm on the reference desk and...

smells like the very first perfume I made, at the age of 15, which was a mainly mixture of cedarwood and geraniol. Not sure why no reviewers have noticed the geraniol/geranium note, though it's...

I've never found an incense scent that smells so clean. No smoke or embers, just pure cedar, a bit of pine and vetiver. I love this. Like walking into a forest, it is simultaneously calming and...

Yes there's cedar in this, but not nearly enough to merit all these hamster cage comments! This is a predominantly cypress-infused incense to me...a green incense if you will...elegant, serene and...

When I know I am facing a particularly high stress work day w/ umpteen deadlines to be met by *yesterday*, Kyoto is often what I'll reach for in the morning. It is truly serene. OK...is it just...

This opens with a harsh furniture polish accord, but soon settles into a dry cedar with coniferous tones. It doesn't make me think of the temples of Kyoto so much as sitting in a traditional...

Ahhh, I love this scent! My only gripe is that it doesn't last worth a dern! It is one of my favorites of the Incense line. I smell cedar, pine (?) at first, drying down to a soft dry incense...

Kyoto is a beautiful cool wintery incense scent, spiritual and calming. The coffee note gives it an "urban" touch.
