    I got a small vial of this in a trade, and it was love at first sniff. Pure, real incense, a hint of frankincense, more myrrh, and the growly roughness of copal. I have a habit of burning resin...

    I love incense, but more to the point classic frankincense and myrrh combos. I understand that this relies heavily on copal which I am not that familiar with or like. Opening was a powerful...

    This is one incredible scent! I admit it has an acrid, nose-singeing opening - resinous, sharp, piercing - that makes this a very difficult scent to wear. Another reviewer described this scent as...

    I love incense, but trial of scents like Norma Kamali Incense are helping me to bring context to my "love of incense". To my nose, Norma Kamali Incense is BITTER woods burning -- with some smoke...

    I really like this scent. But be warned: it's not for everyone. Even my husband said I smelled like a campfire the first time I wore it. That being said... It's really straightforward: smoky (but...

    Expensive, yes, but this will last a long time. Resinous, and almost has the barest hint of the finest (not pickle-like) balsamic vinegar. Smoky, but not like tobacco. Not pine-like or herbal. ...

    Strong, acrid, dry, pungent, smoky, resinous- Norma Kamali Incense is a simple, but wonderful rendition of true, hot, burning, in-the-air, drop-resin incense. I am completely in love and smitten. ...

    I bought a decant off of Ebay, I'm glad I did as you only need a tiny dab. This fragrance is *potent*, I think it pure fragrance oil. Woodsy and spicy! The scent is not for everyone.

    Open fire and ashes. It really did not work on me, and I really disliked it ( so of course the staying power was phenomenal). I got the citrusy fruity top note, but no frankinsence in the dry down....

    Oh my goodness! This is a heavenly scent. It really brings out the hippie in me. This is downright sensual. It takes you to a far away place where dreams do come true. I was mesmerized at first...

    This is a dead ringer for DK Labdanum, especially the stronger oil version of the DK - although it is stronger, I think, and you'd need less of it. It's a rich, deep, dark resin, with a hint of...

    Much too fierce for me. There's a weirdly fruity top note, which somehow makes the fragrance even more penetrating.

    I received a generous decant of this, and I made the mistake of inhaling too deeply and literally had to sit down and clear my head -I'm sure a couple of my brain cells were vaporized. Braved a...

    Okay, so today I put on my new beloved SL Chene as a comfort scent, and then I remembed that I had a couple I had wanted to test today too. I put a little dab of NK Incense on the back of one...

    This is quite, quite amazing. On first dabbing on (I swapped for a very little of this, so want to make it last) it smells *hot*, like burning or hot ashes. It is almost slightly unpleasant for...
