What does Armani Privé - Bois d'Encens smell like?
Pepper opens dry and spicy, and vetiver in the heart sets a green, earthy ground. Frankincense takes over in the base: resinous, smoky and woody, with a faint oriental warmth sitting behind it.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is felt more around you than across a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine.
