The Via dell’Incenso was an ancient trade route for the passage of incense, spices and other luxury goods from South Arabia and the Horn of Africa to the Mediterranean world. This namesake perfume evokes the storied journey with a dance between chilly incense and cushy cashmeran. The result is a cold fire beneath incense, lemony elemi, brisk pine and charred guaiac wood. Any sharp edges are padded with cashmeran, ambered and velvety.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close, attentive spaces where its resinous coolness can unfold without shouting. It suits a composed presence, the kind that reads as deliberate and slightly enigmatic, with incense drifting over clean wood rather than heavy smoke.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where the incense and pine stay crisp and the cashmeran can smooth the edges. One to three sprays is enough for an extrait; it wears with moderate, refined diffusion and settles into a soft woody-resinous trail on skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like incense with clarity rather than darkness: woody, resinous scents that feel clean, polished and slightly mineral. It will appeal to those who enjoy citrus lift, pine freshness and a smooth, modern drydown.
The nose
Luca Maffei. Known for contemporary compositions that balance clarity with texture, he often works with contrasting materials to create fragrances that feel polished yet expressive. In Via dell’Incenso, he shapes incense into a cold, luminous woody accord softened by cashmeran.
