What does Encens Pyro smell like?

It opens with bergamot, spicy notes and a fire note. The heart brings together frankincense, honey, cedarwood, iris and jasmine, with the floral side sitting quietly beneath the smoky resin. In the base, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and leathery notes sweeten and soften it, drying down powdery and warm.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most recommend autumn and winter, and leisure and evening wear are the most common picks. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits evenly between the two. Maison Incens Ambre Ayanna and Amouage Interlude Black Iris have a close profile.
