Passage d'Enfer, composed by Olivia Giacobetti for L'Artisan Parfumeur in 1999, is a quiet incense scent worn by anyone. Wearers describe it as woody, musky, floral and ambery in equal measure, which says something about how seamlessly its few notes are blended.

The notes are given as a single blend of just four elements. Incense is the core, but it is a cool, clean, almost mineral incense rather than a thick, churchy smoke. Lily adds a pale, slightly waxy floral note that keeps it soft, woods give it a dry frame, and musk holds everything close to the skin with a smooth, almost laundered finish.

Most people report moderate longevity, and a fifth find it weak; sillage is intimate for most wearers, so it stays very close. It is voted for autumn and winter and more for daytime than night. It suits anyone who wants incense as a private, meditative skin scent rather than a statement.
