From your scent profile
Jacques Fath Encens Copal is a unisex scent that links a fresh opening of bergamot and mandarin orange to the resinous warmth of mastic, benzoin and frankincense.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

SmokyWhat does Encens Copal smell like?
The top is bergamot, mandarin orange and hazelnut, giving a bright, green-tinged citrus start. In the heart, mastic, geranium and orris concrete come forward. The base of benzoin, frankincense resin, labdanum and frankincense turns it sweet, woody and lightly smoky.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Occasion votes aren't concentrated in one setting: leisure, night out, evening, daily and business all get almost equal shares. Its unisex build reads comfortably on either men or women.
