What does Bright Incense smell like?

The top notes, juniper and absinth, give a fresh, green start. In the heart, iris, myrrh and frankincense take over, and the scent turns resinous, smoky and slightly powdery. Musk and vanilla dry down softly, adding a creamy smoothness while the spicy and woody sides stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin while still reaching those nearby. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward either masculine or feminine. Une Nuit Nomade Bohemian Soul and Simone Andreoli Deep Island have a close profile.
