The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Incense Water by Sana Jardin was launched in 2021, a creation from the perfumer Carlos Benaïm. This fragrance opens with the fresh and herbal raspberry leaf, leading into pimento seeds that add a warm, spicy edge. The heart of bergamot and rose brings a delicate floral aroma, enhanced by rose oil and rose water. As it settles, patchouli and musk create a musky base, grounded by sandalwood, adding depth and warmth to the composition. Incense Water is neither strictly floral nor woody but rather a harmonious blend of these elements, capturing an essence that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Incense Water lightly to allow each layer to unfold naturally throughout the day. The fresh top notes dissipate quickly, so reapply if you want a continuous presence of the rose and patchouli heart. This fragrance works best close to skin, where it maintains its warmth and depth.
