Notes: salty notes, ozonic notes, cardamom, patchouli, amber, myrrh, three different extractions of frankincense, almond, tonka bean
"Mayan incense, rising from age-old temples. Lashes of sea spray and whiffs of the jungle..."
With Bertrand Duchaufour once again at the helm, Copal Azur is both a unique and interesting interpretation of the incense theme, which utilises a tropical premise.
Consisting of three different extractions of frankincense, the copal-like opening possesses a cerulean hue, with an oriental underscore of amber, myrrh and tonka bean. Such an unorthodox introduction is utterly captivating – cardamom fused with ozonic and salty notes, which is more chlorine fresh than marine fresh. Sadly, once this highly intriguing mélange of accords fade, all that's left is a sweet and generic ambery frankincense trail.
Performance-wise, it provides moderate sillage and good tenacity.
