SmokyWhat does Freakincense smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it stays close rather than announcing itself. Spring and fall lead, with winter and summer not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings.
It opens with lime, violet and pink pepper, fresh and lightly spicy. In the heart, cashmeran, frankincense and elemi resin bring out the resinous, smoky side. The base of patchouli, vetiver and labdanum leaves it earthy and deep. Heeley Cardinal and Chapel Factory Heresy have a close profile.
