Have you tried Trompette 8 by Filippo Sorcinelli? I have not yet had a chance to encounter Contre Bombarde 32 yet, though I imagine that a similar tune must be carried through both. It is also atmospheric; evoking the familiar stale yet pungent “church” textures of wooden pews, damp and cold stone, a waxy residue, decomposing hymnals, and the remnants of burned incense.
I have! I have a sample in my reference collection. You're right, it is similar, but brighter than CB32. To me, T8 smells like an old abbey that is still in use vs CB32 feels like an almost musty one that has been abandoned for some time. The caramel note in CB32 adds a little bit of a weird warm sweetness that almost feels a little funky.
I do also plan on getting a bottle of T8 at some point! It's quite hard as an incense lover to pick what to get from Filippo. I already have LAVS and CB32, but the list of to buys keeps growing!
