Lorenzo Pazzaglia Incenso Notturno Extrait

Description

Lorenzo Pazzaglia doesn’t do subtle, and Incenso Notturno (“Night Incense”) is no exception: a gothic descent from bright, peppery citrus into deep, church-dark resin and smoke. Released in 2024 as part of the Italian niche house’s fearless amber line, it opens with elemi, lemon peel, and white pepper before black pepper, cinnamon, and damask rose stir the heart, giving way to a smoldering base of incense, oud, sandalwood, and musk. It’s the smell of an unlit candlelit chapel at midnight: reverent, a little unsettling, and entirely memorable.

Scent Character

• Spicy: 25%
• Woody: 22%
• Oud/Agarwood: 19%
• Sweet (amber, vanilla): 16%
• Fresh (citrus): 12%
• Floral: 6%

Translation: This isn’t a soft cup of tea and roses. Incenso Notturno leans hard into peppery spice, dark wood, and real agarwood, with just enough amber sweetness and citrus lift to keep it from tipping into pure incense-shop intensity.

FAQ

Q: Is Incenso Notturno unisex?
A: Yes, it’s designed to be worn by anyone.

A: Yes. Agarwood (oud) appears in the heart accord alongside patchouli and rose, a genuine component rather than a marketing label.

Q: Is it too intense for daytime wear?
A: For most people, yes. Its resinous, smoky character is best suited to evenings and cooler weather.

Q: What’s the difference between Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Parfum?
A: Extrait de parfum has a higher concentration of fragrance oil, which generally means stronger projection and longer wear than an EDP.
