What does Musc Encensé smell like?

Frankincense and musk lead, while cashmeran and tonka bean pull the scent toward a sweet, woody side. Clary sage adds a fresh edge, and the spicy, faintly smoky facets stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it sits close rather than filling a room. Voters see it working equally for business, leisure and evening, and feminine and masculine votes run close. Serge Lutens L'orpheline and Initio Magnetic Blend 8 have a similar profile.
