What does Encens Kapnos smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It is suggested mostly for leisure and evenings. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably between the two.

It opens with red fruits and green notes, giving a sweet, slightly synthetic freshness. In the heart, leathery notes, woody notes and frankincense come forward, adding a spicy, smoky edge. The base keeps the frankincense, softened and sweetened by gourmand and musky notes.
