Yes, incense! And pine! And leather! and of course, marijuana... This is a very nicely composed perfume with a citrus-weed opening that is quickly wrapped up in turpenes and a slightly hot peppery note. An accord of incense and conifers sweeps in to bolster the marijuana accord bringing a triumvirate religious context derived from the mysticism of the orthodoxy, the spiritual inspiration of alpine asceticism, and the transcendentalism of mind-altering substances (namely marijuana). The weed note actually disappears slowly leaving in its wake a sweet plummy leather note that is both warm and rugged, bringing to mind myrrh and labdanum - neither of which are listed as notes, though. I get much better longevity out of this one that the other two I tried (Agrestic, Green House) and the funky leather note means I'll get a lot more use out of this one, too. Delightfully fun and serious at the same time.

Where does one find this fine fragrance?
 
This evening I tried Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla. I think it is pretty good, although rather short lived, but my wife dearly loves it, so it will be in my regular rotation.
 
Amouage Journey Man - similar to Fate Man, but with a heavy dose of incense. Both Journey and Fate have what smells to me like Tulsi (holy basil) oil. Not a bad smell on others, but I don't enjoy wearing it and smelling it all day.
