Each of the gifts of the three Magi carried a special symbolic meaning – gold representing kingship, myrrh foreshadowing the death of Jesus (myrrh being commonly used as an embalming and purifying ointment in the final sendoff of a soul), and finally, frankincense for divinity. 171 more words

Reposting this from a blog I like very much: Take One Thing Off. So many incense-based fragrances! I’ve tried some but not all — which ones have you tried? Any favorites?
Serenity Now Scents and Sensibilities 
My favorites are Heeley Cardinal and CDG Avignon. Love both of them. Sonoma Scent Studio’s Incense fragrance is also very beautiful. I think some of the Unum scents also fit into this category and they are very nice as well, such as Unum 1144.

I haven’t tried any of those, so I’ll have to seek them out! I was so happy when Sonoma Scent Studio re-opened with a new owner. Must remember to buy some Bee’s Bliss, which i missed when it first came out.

I have Fille en Aiguilles, that I love and decants of Full Incense, Zagorsk, Reve d Ossian. I like mb03 a lot, a very Zen dry incense with a woody note and Heeley Eau Sacrée, a warmer church incense with a hint of cola.

I’m always intrigued by Fille en Aiguilles when I read about it. What do you like best about it?

I don’t have many incense-focused scents, but I have and love 4160 Tuesdays’ White Queen, in which incense mingles with cream and other gourmand notes: https://scentsandsensibilities.co/2019/02/17/scent-sample-sunday-white-queen/. I also enjoy Amouage’s Memoir Woman, which has a lot of incense: https://scentsandsensibilities.co/2016/01/29/fragrance-friday-amouages-memoir-woman/.
