Hats off to Sonia Constant for one of the most novel and pleasing takes on the incense genre
out there.
The concept for Sancti, L’Eau Bénite is ostensibly simple:
contrast the cool, resinous scent of olibanum with a warm, ginger-driven spice
accord. Sniff closely however, and the latter resolves into a fantastically
well blended complex of zingy (mandarin-/) aldehydes and herbal notes (esp.
coriander). Real ‘rabbit-out-of-the-hat’ stuff.
The composition remains bright and transparent for its
duration, with a sheer woodsiness and unobtrusive musk fond as support.
Wonderful.
