What does Incarnata smell like?

The top is violet, raspberry and rhododendron, so fruity sweetness comes first. In the heart, myrrh, iris, rose and lipstick turn the floral side powdery. The base of vanilla, benzoin, amber and suede closes the scent with a resinous, slightly leathery warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and summer is the weakest season. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and about half of voters find it feminine. Régalien Kashmeran and Balmain La Môme have a close profile.
