Passage d'Enfer
L'Artisan Parfumeur · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1999
≈ $150 · 100ml · approx. retail
Named for a real Parisian street ('Hell's Passage'), this Olivia Giacobetti composition pairs cool white lily with luminous, church-like frankincense over a soft musky-woody base, avoiding the heaviness typical of incense fragrances. A 1999 release, it's remembered as one of the cleanest, most wearable incense scents in the genre.
