Ved’Ma vs Incendo

The r/fragrance community highly values smoky and incense-based fragrances, with Avignon by Comme des Garçons emerging as the most consistently recommended option. While users debate whether true 'burning' smoke is achievable in perfumery, there is strong consensus that resinous notes like labdanum, frankincense, and myrrh are essential for authentic church incense aesthetics. The community prioritizes longevity and sillage, making established niche houses preferable to indie options.
