What does Incense smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring in second place and summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is also worn for leisure. It is made for men, and most voters find it masculine.
It opens with cinnamon, pink pepper, cardamom and black pepper for a spicy start. In the heart, benzoin softens the scent with a resinous sweetness. The base of gaiac wood, ebony and sandalwood sets a woody, smoky foundation.
