What does Cuir d'Encens smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. Voters lean towards fall, then spring and winter, and recommend it less for summer. It suits daily wear and leisure time, and it also fits the office.
It opens with pink pepper, bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon, a fresh and fruity start. In the heart, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and cumin bring the spice, while leather and honey sweeten it. The dry-down settles into amber, patchouli absolute, oud and vanilla, woody and oriental in feel.
