FREAKINCENSE

Freakincense is a unisex eau de parfum by Coreterno, the Italian brand that loves exploring the thin line between the sacred and the profane. An incense out of the ordinary, intense and mysterious, a finalist among the best independent artistic perfumes at the Accademia del Profumo award.

The Fragrance

Freakincense was born from the image of a secret rite: a veil of smoke wrapping around you, a prayer whispered in a language forgotten for centuries, music that stuns the senses while reality rewrites itself before your eyes. It's a "freak" incense, rebellious, inviting you to contemplate the sublime beauty of intangible things.

How It Evolves on Skin

Freakincense opens with a sparkling, powdery accord of lime, pink pepper and violet: an entrance that bites lightly before softening into a delicate powder. At its heart, the fragrance wraps you in ecclesiastical incense, mysteriously enriched with resinous elemi and cashmeran, for a smoky, almost sacred atmosphere. The base reveals the fragrance's true ritual soul: a damp, woody vetiver, a deep patchouli and the sensual warmth of labdanum, for a dry, earthy trail with remarkable longevity.

Who We Recommend Freakincense To

Freakincense is made for anyone who loves fragrances with character, capable of telling a ritual rather than just being a scent: perfect for autumn and winter, when its smoky, resinous warmth finds its ideal setting, but also for evenings when you're looking for a bold, memorable olfactory signature. A mysterious soul, for lovers of woody spicy fragrances with an incensed heart who aren't afraid to stand out.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Freakincense is one of those fragrances you can recognize from a distance: it's not an "easy" incense, but that's exactly what wins over anyone looking for something deeper than an everyday scent. First-time wearers are often surprised by how long it stays with the skin, almost as if it had become part of them.
