Liquid Incense: A Modern Unisex Fragrance from Maksim Perfume
Liquid Incense is the new fragrance from Maksim Perfume, created for men and women. It launched in 2026 with a personality that blends resinous, woody and gently spiced elements.
The perfumer behind the composition is Maxim Bortnikov. He builds the scent around incense and oud, with an opening that stays fresh and luminous.
The fragrance opens with pink pepper, aldehydes and bergamot. That top note is bright and a little sparkling, setting the stage for something deeper.
In the heart, incense and elemi resin take over. This is where the balsamic character of Liquid Incense really comes through, adding warmth and a subtle, resinous glow.
The base is built on oud wood, cedar and Haitian vetiver. Together, these notes create a solid, woody foundation that feels calm, grounded and quietly luxurious.
Maksim Perfume lists accords of amber, aromatic, woody, oud, fresh spicy, balsamic, aldehydic, warm spicy, conifer and soft spicy. The result is a complex, multifaceted scent that moves between fresh and warm, never staying in one place for too long.
Because it is unisex, Liquid Incense is for anyone who wants a fragrance with presence rather than a gender label. Its balance of fresh, spicy and woody notes makes it easy to imagine in different settings.
Early reviews give the fragrance an average rating of 4.2 out of 5, based on ten reviews.
This perfume is for incense and oud lovers, fans of resinous, balsamic scents, and anyone looking for a unisex fragrance with modern character.
Liquid Incense is a confindent blend of light and shadow, spice and wood, freshness and depth. With Maxim Bortnikov at the helm, Maksim Perfume delivers a versatile unisex fragrance that feels both spiritual and contemporary.

Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
If you expect brutality and beast mode, keep moving. The opening is very good, you can smell vetiver and olibanum, and then later it becomes very weak, skin-scent. I’ll keep testing it, we’ll give it one more chance. Second and third update… a shame, bad longevity, it lasts a sigh. They promote it as eau de parfum, and it seems more like cologne.
