What does Encens Asakusa smell like?

Powdery iris and violet set a floral base, while frankincense and myrrh add a resinous, lightly smoky depth. Pink pepper brings spice, cypress a woody freshness, and white musk softens it all. The overall feel is fresh and sweet rather than heavy.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is close behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Feminine and masculine votes are nearly even, so it reads as truly unisex. Nuit Marine and Amber Echo have a close profile.
