Smoke of Amsterdam Perfume: The Incense Scent From Amsterdam

Introduction to Incense Perfume

Incense perfume is a fragrance category that invites you to experience scent in a new way. Inspired by the ancient art of burning incense, these perfumes are crafted to create a unique blend of freshness and warmth. Each bottle is designed to evoke the feeling of woods touched by smoke, balanced with the brightness of citrus notes. Whether you are searching for a signature scent for everyday wear or looking to sample something inspired by tradition, incense perfumes offer a world of options. The experience is both personal and universal, each spray is a chance to create your own ritual, no matter where you are.

Olibanum, Smoke and Stillness

Incense is one of the pillars of my work. I use olibanum and other resins to build perfumes that curl gently around woods and florals

 

History and Development

The story of incense perfume begins with the ancient use of fragrant smoke and resins in spiritual ceremonies. Over time, perfumers learned to capture the essence of these rituals in liquid form, blending traditional ingredients with modern creativity. In Amsterdam, the art of perfume making has embraced these roots, using local and exotic woods, resins and innovative notes to create scents that feel both timeless and fresh. Recent years have seen the rise of new combinations, such as bergamot for a citrus lift and vanilla for a touch of sweetness, which often result in fragrances that feel perfectly balanced. Each perfume is a reflection of its time, a blend of history and modern artistry.

Types and Varieties

Incense perfumes come in a remarkable range of types and varieties, each offering a distinct scent profile. Some are smoky and mysterious, reminiscent of Amsterdam’s hidden corners, while others highlight the creamy sweetness of vanilla or the crispness of citrus. Whether you love the deep embrace of woods or the lightness of fresh notes, there is a fragrance to match your mood and style. Exploring the options, whether online or in store, lets you discover the perfect incense perfume, one that feels like it was made just for you.

From Ritual to Daily Companion

These incense perfumes nod to old rituals yet are made for everyday life. I want them to feel wearable with a simple T shirt as well as with something more formal. A few sprays in the morning and you carry a small, invisible sanctuary with you throughout the day. Created in my studio in the Jordaan in Amsterdam.
