I am beyond thrilled to have finally found this. For longer than I care to remember I’ve been madly in love with Bois d’Encens but the price tag makes my eyes water. I’ve been receiving notifications about that frag from eBay for actual years and even there the price seldom falls below $150 for a half empty bottle.. but here, finally, I have found a fragrance that scratches the exact same itch for a fraction of the cost. Miraculously the staying power on this one is even better. Pine and cedar and other dark woods, burning resins, and a touch of chamomile that, to my nose, comes across like the beeswax candles illuminating the interior of every Orthodox church. This is cold and dry and holy, and beautifully delivers that wonderful transportive quality that better fragrances only sometimes do.

Lovely!!!!!! For me, this hits the perfect mark for a natural non aquatic non grassy green smell mixed with a less dense spicy incense. For me, the chamomile, offering its soothing nonabrasive floral softness, fresh natural lavender (nothing powdery here) and cinnamon predominate with a very clean pine note as well that is not too aftershavey or too much like a car air freshner. More fresh and clean like the alpines. Cinnamony woods also are here, providing the warm bed that the other notes gracefully rest on.
Because of the combination between alpine freshness and warm, incense. This makes a good Seasonless fragrance as it is warm enough for winter and fresh enough for spring summer. But because of the greenery mixed with spice, I think this would also make a perfect Christmas fragrance both to wear and for the home. (They also make candles in this scen). Perfectly unisex as well. Very gender neutral as all you smell is spice and freshness, Love and would recommend and rebuy potentially if found at a good price.

LOVE it! My signature perfume and get compliments all the time. I like the others in the series, but this is by far my fave. Would love to see it in a body lotion and candle as well.

I’m a Greek Orthodox and though not a Church goer at all I can tell this fragrance doesn’t smell like a church. It’s clean, crispy inscence as in aromatherapy and not resinous church inscense plus beeswax candles as in church smell. I was looking for a dark and solemn fragrance to touch my inner Goth but this is definitely not the one. Plus there’s no staying power on me. I get the impression this is an oversimplified, unsophisticated super diluted version of Etro’s Messe de Minuit.

Avignon is my favorite by far of my four CdG Incenses (Series #3) — and I own 4 of the 5 in this series: 1. Avignon (delicious & mild, slightly sweet), 2. Zagorsk (deep foresty, piney & wood-smokey), 3. Ouarzazate (more warmly woody than incense-y IMHO), Kyoto (*very* cedary). I never bought Jaisalmer (dry & sort of herby-woody IIRC). I like them all — in the order listed. Avignon is the only one I would consider repurchasing, but only because it’s the most public-friendly.
Honestly, I’m not Catholic, never been to a mass, and I can’t compare Avignon to any church scents — I only know that I love it. I can vouch that this does NOT smell like Satya Sai Baba’s Nag Champa incense (that famous one in the blue-&-white packaging), which was so strong, I couldn’t tolerate it — that one kind of turned my stomach, actually.
Here are the notes for Avignon, per parfumo.net:
Elemi resin, Labdanum, Rosewood, Patchouli, Roman chamomile, Vanilla, Frankincense
I’ve had my CdG incenses since approximately 2005 and I love them, but I hardly use them any more — I keep them among my “special” scents that I don’t want to deplete.
They’re all named after actual towns, apparently — and Avignon is a town in France (Zagorsk is in Russia, Ouarzazate is in Morocco, Kyoto is in Japan, Jaisalmer is in India??) — so each incense scent reflects the scents in the churches & temples of the locale they’re named after.
Avignon is really a nice mellow friendly all-around good incense perfume — less exotic than the others, perhaps — pretty and well-blended — it’s not too strong, sharp, biting, or resiny — I find it fairly easy to wear — and I never mix it.
I read many years ago that Sarah Jessica Parker used a 3-scent layering combo: CdG Avignon layered with a musk from a NYC street vendor (Abdul Kareem Egyptian Musk? — or was that Carolyn Bessette’s sig?) plus Bonne Bell Skin Musk. That was before SJP launched Lovely. I tried SJP’s 3-way combo once & wasn’t that crazy about it — prefer to wear each of these scents on their own. I’m never one for layering perfumes anyway.
I tend to not wear my four CdG Incenses very much any more, simply because I don’t want to run out. The bottles are solid black, which protects the scents from light damage, but I can’t see how much I have left, and they were expensive — so these are among my perfumes that I use sparingly. I treasure them all. Beautiful!

As per olfactory obsessed.com, notes are: chamomile, cistus oil, else I, incense, vanilla, patchouli, pal islander, ambrette.
Famously worn by morrissey, the lyricist of the Smiths.
Avignon came across my radar when I read about it in Chandler Burrs book re the making of Sarah Jessica Parker’s fragrance Lovely.
It is wonderful, citrus, smokey, resinous wood that is versatile and church evocative. Not sweet. And as per SJP’s suggestion, I do layer it.
With SL Ambre sultan and with SL La Myrrhe. With MKK. With Bois et al. My next mix will be with. Jeau de Peaux which hopefully will be a way for me to wear JdP.
With Shalimar vintage EdC which is a less powdery, less full oriental than modern Shalimar.
Note: nothing seems to make Jeau de peaux wearable for me, but I still love Avignon.

The go-to scent for when I drink red wine in the dark while Sisters of Mercy plays in the background. Amazing. One lippie off because I can’t get it from any domestic retailer, online or brick-and-mortar, and luckyscent’s shipping fee is forty freaking dollars.

There is a god and his name is Bertrand Duchaufour.
Avignon is just that incredible. I have been looking everywhere, so long, for my holy grail, and it turns out this is the one. (There is ONLY one.)
It’s liquid Mass but WAY less expensive than going to church, and the guilt from spending so much money on a fragrance is absolved with just a few Hail Marys!
Catholicism is great at showmanship and I wish the package for Avignon reflected that in the form of a tongue-in-cheek reliquary or something, would enhance the perfume ritual, but then it would probably be more expensive to manufacture and the package serves its purpose, so whatevs. Maybe a limited edition bottle would be cool. Bring on the Catholic gilt!
Anyway, it is gorgeous smoky wonderful perfection. Luckyscent and Surrender to Chance both have samples online and it’s at least worth trying once if you like incense fragrances.

Spicy pencil shavings. But, like…really *fancy* pencils.

Avignon strikes me as predominantly piney-resinous with an ethereal whisper of camomile. It captures some of that stone/earth chilliness that Messe de Minuit is so famous for but without being so relentlessly dank and mouldy. The pine aspect is quite dominate to my nose and brings to mind the dark green branches of evergreens swaying in a cool mountain breeze. The church insence accords give it an unavoidable gothic undertone, but there is a lightness (camomile, some other floral?) that prevents it from becoming too bleak.
