What does Gincense (2012) smell like?

A fresh, citrusy, green base carries spicy, woody, resinous and smoky tones. Ginger and spices bring liveliness, while frankincense and exotic woods add a drier, smokier side. Jasmine and lily of the valley soften it with a floral touch, and marine notes keep it cool.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall, and see it as suited to daily and leisure wear, as well as evenings. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine. Its profile is close to D.S. & Durga Italian Citrus and Molinard Citrus Noir.
