What does Incense Perfumum smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, while spring and summer trail behind. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and is chosen less for the office or daily wear. Its longevity and sillage both rate as good, though these ratings rest on a small number of votes.

The scent is built from frankincense, Spanish labdanum and cedarwood. The resinous, smoky side of the frankincense and labdanum dominates, while cedarwood lays a dry woody base. The sweet and spicy accords soften that firmness and give the whole a warm, oriental feel.
