What does Encens Roi smell like?

It opens with Roman chamomile, Peruvian pepper tree and frankincense, while saffron, Atlas cedar and pimento bring spice to the heart. In the base, vanilla, cistus, cocoa and oud sweeten the smoky resin and soften its edges.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It suits evenings, leisure time and nights out, and reads somewhat masculine. Les Folies du Parfum Nemea and Versace Ambre Nectar have a close profile.
