SmokyWhat does Encens Flamboyant (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Frankincense and black pepper lead, while frankincense resin, nutmeg and cardamom add a spicy warmth in the heart. Fir balsam, church frankincense and mastic settle into a woody, earthy base. Fresh and green accents lighten the weight, leaving an oriental touch.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and leisure wear stand out. It leans masculine in votes, though a sizeable share reads it as feminine. Robert Piguet Casbah and L'Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu have a close profile.
