What Is Incense?
Incense materials (including frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, galbanum, and sandalwood among others) have been used as incense for more than two thousand years to purify the body, clear the mind, and elevate the soul. These ingredients have been incorporated in perfumes throughout the period to scent oils for anointment and for use as perfumes.
Despite this history, incense notes have only recently taken center stage in commercial perfume products. Avignon, by perfumer Bertrand Duchafour, stands out as a guiding star in the commercial perfume incense firmament.

Why Incense Is the Right Scent for You
Pisces, priestess, often possess high levels of intuition and connection to the spiritual world. Sex for a Pisces is transcendental. Aries, the ram, seeker and courageous in spiritual quests, may be cleansed and ultimately find some peace from incense when other scents only further overextension. Leo, ruled by the sun, is naturally attracted to the cleansing fire of incense. Scorpio, ruled by the god of the underworld and the god of war, intensely seeks inner knowledge, focused on sex, death, and rebirth.
A third date will likely find you deep in conversation for hours, making sure that you are both seeing clearly. Scorpios often seek a mate for life, so this conversation could be a critical test for whether they are willing to invest any more time. Petra and the grand tour, filled with many cathedrals, will touch your spirit, but the solo hike in the high mountains offer a chance to renew your soul.
Happy smells like a snow-covered forest, blasting with ozone from the storm and the resin of a thousand trees. The fire of whiskey and the liqueur appeal more to you than the cool ice cream or sorbet. Sexy smells like clean sheets, purity arousing desire.
You are drinking green tea, and otherwise sparkling water, as you try once again to center your mind and spirit and rededicate yourself to understanding and love.
