Incense Matthew Williamson, created in 2007, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, rooted in the east and wood families. Perfumers Henry de Monclin, Clément Gavarry, and Matthew Williamson joined forces to create something truly special. The fragrance concentration is eau de toilette.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. It's a light presence — longevity is low, perfect for those who love something airy. Made in the United Kingdom. Incense Matthew Williamson unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Incense unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Matthew Williamson is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps the right density and pace of development.
The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms Low suggests confident staying power. In diffusion Middle defines the projection profile in space.
When the structure is mixed the opening appears as one connected movement with a warm incense mood: Frankincense, Labdanum and Patchouli. In this case 3 notes act as one coherent layer, creating enveloping resinous depth that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are felt as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Balsamic, Wood and Gourmet. At family level the scent maps to East and Wood.
Taken together Incense sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.
