Incense Crush

Incense Crush from D'ORSAY, composed by Julien Rasquinet in 2024, is a spicy incense with a woody, leathery frame. Spice is what everyone notices first, most also find it woody, and a minority highlight resin, amber and leather.

Cloves and cardamom open it with a warm, aromatic spice, clove slightly medicinal and sweet, cardamom cool and green. Frankincense, also listed as olibanum, rises next with a dry, lemony, smoky resin that gives the scent its ceremonial character. The base is structured and dry: oak brings a solid, slightly barrel-like woodiness, cedar a crisp, pencil-like note, vetiver a grassy, smoky earthiness, and leather a smooth, polished texture.

Worn by anyone, it suits people who like incense with warmth and spice rather than coolness. The profile points towards autumn and winter, evenings and quieter, reflective moments, and it could also work well for smart occasions where a refined, textured fragrance fits. Those who enjoy clove-and-incense compositions with a woody backbone are its likely audience.
