What does Encens Lumière smell like?

Most voters pick it for leisure and everyday wear, and some also find it suitable for the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays noticeable on the skin without filling a room. The number of ratings is small, so treat these as a rough guide.

The notes are freesia, frankincense and saffron blossom. Floral and sweet accords come first, while the spicy and smoky side stays in the background, carried by the frankincense. It has an oriental warmth but never turns heavy, staying soft and bright.
