Incendo (I keep thinking it’s “Incendio,” too) is by La Curie. Luca Turin raved about it last month, and it’s on my “must try” list, too.

ONE perfume on my wish list? Only one???? How to decide? That’s why my wish list gets longer because I have too many that I want to sample. Hmmm, I think one of them is Tauer’s Fruitchouli. But, there are many much more expensive houses that I have never sniffed, such as Bond, Creed, Regina Harris, Le Labo, Cardinal, Comme des Garcons, Carthusia, The Vagabond Prince, Papillon, Oriza, Diptyque, Floris, Phaedon, Nasomatto, Parfums de Marly and Xerjoff. I will not live long enough!
