What does La Cérémonie de l'Encens smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring next. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and also suits nights out. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine.

Spicy, woody, resinous and smoky accords move together here. Malabar pepper adds a dry warmth, Hinoki wood and cedarwood form the woody frame, and Somalian frankincense brings the resinous, smoky character forward.
