What does Encens Lavande / Incense Lavender smell like?

It opens with aniseed and citrus fruits, fresh and lightly sweet. In the heart, lavender and cardamom come forward, bringing floral and green tones with a spicy edge. The base of frankincense, sandalwood and white musk settles into a woody, resinous, slightly smoky finish.

Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet presence. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Serge Lutens Encens et lavande and Shay & Blue Suffolk Lavender have a close profile.
