Incident Diplomatique is built on a brisk, striking patchouli base. Patchouli is one of the most provocative notes in all of perfumery and its dry headiness and undeniable earthiness are the centerpiece of this fragrance. Haitian vetiver and Java vetiver oil are employed as heart notes to give body to the composition – a dry grassiness and a velvety texture. Juicy citrus and vibrant spice create a sweet, flirty opening. The playful nod to geopolitical tensions in Incident Diplomatique's name suggests a tension of another sort - the tension of an attraction that is dangerous, but also too strong to resist.

"... Just as we might give into a staggering impulse too strong to resist, it declares its urges, teasing tension to the breaking point, until one brush turns into a tidal wave of sensuality." - Jovoy

Here's what other people are saying about Incident Diplomatique...

This is one of my top two Vetiver fragrances. Competes with Nishane's Sultan Vetiver in my opinion. Both combine various vetiver oils to create a potent and unique grassy/earthy profile. Incident Diplomatic has a wonderful Sandalwood in the base that gives this a round, dark, almost shimmery dry down. It has a definite presence that lasts 8+ hours. I think it is a sexy masculine fragrance.

If you have been in the fragrance world for a while, then this one is perfect for you. People who are not smelled many fragrances may not like this one, because it is a bit potent and dar, but the performance is great and I just love this fragrance.

This is a lovely fragrance. This is for anyone, even for those not too used to patchouli or vetiver, as this is really earthy and dark patchouli and nutty vetiver, something we all should try and explore. This scent starts out with a hit of patchouli and then just melts into rich vetiver oils. It is hard to discern where and when the two notes start or finish. Superb blending. I get the mandarin/orange note somewhere in the middle of 4-hour longevity, although it is listed in the notes as being a top note. I got a lot of compliments as well.

I got an FB from luckyscent, and had high hopes from the notes and the reviews. But was thoroughly disappointed as I only get patchouli from this on my skin and nothin' else. Absolutely, no vetiver or orange for me. Not sure where the comparison from Jubilation comes from, honestly. And it disappears pretty quickly too. Looks like its different for others, so definitely not a blind buy. As far as patchouli goes, I have PA from TomFord, and this doesnt match up, sorry.

Reminds me a lot of Amouage Jubilation though more subdued, muted, and linear. They are definitely first cousins, though. Clean, bright, zesty, and very sexy! Both sophisticated and casual, a difficult balance to achieve, but achieve it they did. This is FBW and will wind up being my significant scent!

Wow...a tidal wave of compliments. Stays on all day...very sexy, very masculine.
