Rien was one of four samples I chose for my ELDO sample set, and it was by far my favorite, but be warned that this is an incense BLAST. (I can't even IMAGINE what the Rien Intense Incense must smell like, because the regular Rien is PLENTY incense-y for me.) It doesn't develop for me--I don't really get any of the other notes listed--but I love incense so I don't mind. The sillage is pretty significant and it lasts FOREVER (as in, I can still smell it on clothes after I've washed them). I think this is really more of a cool weather scent, but that could be related to the fact that I started wearing it in the fall so I associate it with fall. TL; DR - if you like strong incense, this is the one for you. If you're hoping to get more development from this scent or wanting something more subtle, I strongly suggest trying a sample before buying a full bottle.

I wanted to love this so much based on reviews on fragrantica and reddit. There is a pretty prominent burned leather smell at the start which overpowers everything. The drydown is nice and it's still a wearable scent but not one that makes me feel delighted
