Premise: I absolutely do not like incense! I discovered Officina delle Essenze several years ago—Osmarine was my first love at first scent. I loved it, but now I was looking for something more wintry. I decided to buy all the samples and try them on my skin. I started with the “Puri”: Talco, Lino, Neroli, etc. All very good, but not for now. I continued with the “Caldi”. Some were too sweet, others too woody. Then, very slowly, I got to Caldo Encens. I expected the usual incense smell, but instead I was fascinated. No incense—I smell green notes, woods, but also powdery tones, resin and this balsamic note that stays on my skin. I find it a mysterious, intriguing, intimate fragrance. I also like it because it doesn’t leave an overwhelming trail—it’s delicate, yet bold, captivating, and soothing. And that’s it—today I went back to the shop where I first met Osmarine, and I came home with him, my Caldo Encens. Thank you 🖤

When trying the fragrance, I expected something dry and strong, pure incense to be exact, so I thought I wouldn’t like it. However, this fragrance is spectacular because it’s a super fresh incense. I never thought I could associate the word incense with fresh, but honestly, on my skin, this fragrance is amazing, probably thanks to the top notes of pine. The longevity is endless, I sprayed it at 6 pm and the next morning I could still smell it on my skin and sheets. Highly recommended! It’s perfect for a man, but I also see it on a woman who wants to be elegant or for a work dinner. Truly worth trying, because describing it doesn’t do justice to how unique it is.
Davide –
Always the best for me. I find it elegant and warm.
Simone –
Very good at first. It reminded me of the incense in churches. Then it changes quickly, fading into a thousand facets that are difficult to identify. Complex and mysterious. But that’s exactly why it’s such an intriguing and beautiful fragrance. Really well done, because handling incense is not an easy task…
Fabiola –
I bought it after getting the Discovery Kit. Among the many great fragrances, I was struck by this one, which has pleasant woody notes that blend with incense. Truly excellent!

Masculine scent, well crafted and fine blended. You smell resin and pine, warm, with strong but fine projection. Not for everybody, well suited for men, not boys or teens, between 35-55. It is a fragrance for MEN.
Paola –
A modern incense, which doesn’t get tiring despite being persistent. Engulfing and fresh at the same time, excellent balance.

I discovered Officina delle Essenze through an advertisement on Facebook. I read a few reviews and decided to give it a try. I thought the incense would be more “pure,” but it didn’t meet my expectations.
Annalise Corbelli –
Very pleasant! I recommend it.
Stefano –
Let me start by saying that I’m not judging the quality of the product—I would give it 5 stars—but my expectation was different. After searching online for a fragrance with frankincense, I purchased Caldo Encens. I find it very sweet and without the resinous note I was hoping for. I probably should have tried the 2.5 ml sample first. Thank you anyway!
Officina delle Essenze –
We’re really sorry that the fragrance didn’t meet your expectations, Stefano! Luckily, you purchased only the 10 ml size and not a larger one. For the benefit of others reading your words, we just want to clarify a couple of things. From a purely olfactory perspective, it seems that in this case, some nuances may not have been perceived as they really are. Caldo Encens is indeed not only rich in Frankincense, but it also contains a generous dose of pine resin, clearly noticeable in the top notes of the fragrance. In any case, dear Stefano, we want to thank you for giving it a try. We hope you’ll have the chance to rediscover Caldo Encens, perhaps trying it again in a month far from this hot July 😊

Excellent perfume. Persistent and enveloping!

Today, I received the package from this fantastic brand. I appreciated the care in packaging the box, the fast and detailed shipping, and of course, the content. One of the fragrances I chose is Caldo Encens. Surprisingly unique! A mix of incense and bergamot… it stands out for its uniqueness and is also persistent! Thanks also for the lovely samples, I can’t wait to try them all! Very satisfied.
Francesca Maria –
An enveloping fragrance.
Luca –
Perfect!
Ioana Cristina Nicolaie –
Great parfum, but more masculine as I expected… It’s warm and cold in same time. Make me think about Caron creations for men.
Liviana Pozzoli –
Excellent!
Domenico Metta –
I recommend it to anyone who wants to stand out with a fragrance that’s different from the usual. Thank you for the fast delivery, the packaging, and especially for the product itself.
Paolo –
My wife likes it and so do I!
Simona –
I didn’t like it much, so I gave it away.
Pier Ercole Bottani –
Intense, more enveloping than Caldo Legnoso, perhaps, but balanced and softer, warm, and more persistent, at least in my personal experience; never too strong, but always distinguishable from the others with taste and uniqueness.
Giorgia Sanna –
The scent is good and refined. It reminds of fragrances from the past! I expected it to be drier and woodier.
Giulia –
Wonderful, the fragrance I was looking for!
Andreea Silitra –
I got this as a gift for my partner. Such an elegant perfume. Quick delivery and very nice customer service. Well done to the team!
Joep –
Great perfume, smell stays very long – 7/8 hours – and the whole delivery process was quick (great updates via email), even when you order from outside Italy (Netherlands in my case). Only point of improvement are the labels on the bottle, mine came off directly after opening the parcel.
Officina delle Essenze –
Hi Joep, we appreciate your great feedback. Unfortunately, the issue with the label appears from time to time in summer, when the temperature during shipment is very high. We are aware of this problem and will try to do our best to resolve it as quickly as possible. Thanks again for your purchase Caldo Encens!
Vicky –
Good parfum for mens. Deep, wood… elegant!
Carien Waaijer –
Bought this perfume in the Netherlands and it’s such an amazing and outstanding perfume!
