What does Encens Jinhae smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling the room. Most voters pick fall, with spring close behind. Leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions, and the character votes lean slightly feminine, with masculine not far behind.

The lemon carries the bright, fresh side, while the cherry blossom adds a light floral sweetness. The frankincense brings a resinous, smoky depth, with green, spicy and woody tones in between. Il Profvmo Othello and Santa Maria Novella Acqua di Sicilia have a close profile.
