Alex Simone L'Incitation: A Universal Oriental-Woody Masterpiece

Introducing the L'Incitation perfume from the perfume house Alex Simone, released in 2017.

This fragrance embodies Mediterranean elegance, inspired by the personal stories of founder Eric Russo, who created the brand as an ode to his grandmother and grandfather.

L'Incitation is classified as a unisex perfume, making it an ideal choice for everyone who appreciates versatility and a modern approach.

It belongs to the Oriental and Woody families, offering a rich and warm aura that suits cool evenings or special occasions.

Concentration — Eau de Parfum, providing longevity and depth without excessive heaviness.

The fragrance has a moderate sillage, which gently envelops you, creating an elegant and subtle trail.

For optimal application, it is recommended to use point application on the skin in key areas such as wrists and neck, as well as applying in a cloud to clothing, which allows you to enjoy the full and gradual unfolding of the composition throughout the day.

The creator of this perfume is the renowned perfumer Jean-Denis Saisse, whose experience and sense of style gave L'Incitation a unique character, balancing between tradition and innovation.

The fragrance reflects the brand DNA of Alex Simone, enhancing its reputation in the world of niche perfumery as a creator of complex and emotional compositions.

If L'Incitation appeals to you, you might also be interested in similar fragrances for further exploration: Agent Provocateur L'Agent, Amouage Epic Man, and Etro Messe De Minuit.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

Note Pyramid L'Incitation

The composition of L'Incitation opens with a bright top chord of clove, pink pepper, and rose, creating a spicy-floral introduction with light piquancy.

In the heart of the fragrance, incense, geranium, and patchouli unfold, adding depth, balsamic shades, and green nuances.

The base consists of labdanum, myrrh, and woody accord, which imparts longevity, a warm finish, and resinous softness.

This pyramid reflects groups of balsamic and spicy notes, creating a complex and memorable bouquet that evolves smoothly on the skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

This scent, it's like it brings on dark thoughts. A bouquet of spices and resins, patchouli with woody notes and geranium - it all blends into something heavy. The rose, only it stands out among all this, but even it seems too rich, almost suffocating. The fragrance isn't just long-lasting, it's almost imposing itself, leaving a vivid but oppressive trail. This whole cocktail only evokes bitterness and longing
3/5

I tried this fragrance out of curiosity, but honestly, it's not for me. Although, I admit, there's something pleasant about it. The opening with spices and flowers is really captivating, and then woody notes and resins appear. I can't figure out if I like it or not, but there's something to it
3/5

I saw this fragrance in a perfume store and decided to test it. On the blotter, I liked it; the initial accord really surprised and pleased me. I applied it to my hand, and after a while, a completely different picture emerged. It was like I entered an ancient cathedral with stone walls and stained glass. That was pleasant, as I love incense. But then, when the fragrance fully opened, the feelings changed. Images of dirty animals and damp wood came to mind. Honestly, I don't understand who would want to smell like that. I'll try something else from Alex Simone, but I'm afraid this fragrance is THE END
4/5

At first, I thought the whole collection in light shades would be calm and neutral, but the scent turned out to be quite complex for me. Spicy rose with tobacco notes and patchouli create an interesting cocktail. This is indeed a beautiful option for going out, but I don't need much of it, so I'll just buy a small bottle
4/5

This fragrance, of course, isn't about rose, although it does appear at the beginning. The main accents here are on labdanum and wood. It seems beautiful, but it lacks emotion 🤔
