When it first launched in 1994 I had never smelled anything quiet like Etro’s Messe de Minuit. Although it includes one of the oldest perfume ingredients known to man, I had never before experienced frankincense being used so prominently in a scent. Used mainly in the base of a fragrance to anchor and add longevity to the blend, anyone who has ever attended Catholic or High Anglican Midnight Mass, will identify frankincense as the smell of Christmas. A few years earlier in 1991, in a similarly devout vain, Caron released Parfum Sacré; this time tinged with floral top notes rather than Etro’s citrusy opening. La Liturgie des Heure s by Jovoy is one of the most successful of this ecclesiastical oeuvre; with its fresh green top notes and the incense full-bodied and smoky in the middle. Comme des Garcons launched its series of perfume projects; Parfums Series, in 2000. In 2002 Series 3 Incense was devoted to the world’s religions’ practice of burning fragrant resins.
