From your scent profile
L'Occitane en Provence Cèdre Encens / Eau des Baux is a sweet, woody men's fragrance that opens with pink pepper and settles into frankincense and cedarwood.
Skunky's take: Opens sweet, so if sugar is not your thing, think twice.

What does Cèdre Encens / Eau des Baux smell like?
Pink pepper gives the opening a spicy lift; at the heart, frankincense adds a resinous, smoky air, and cedarwood lays a woody base underneath. Sweet and gourmand accents soften the dry edges and leave an oriental warmth.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and leisure wear leading, and it reads as masculine. Balenciaga Incense Perfumum and AllSaints Incense City have a close profile.
