What does Caldo Encens smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and leisure time leading the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It leans a little more masculine than feminine in the votes, though the feminine share is sizeable.

It opens with pine resin and bergamot, green and fresh. In the heart, heliotrope sweetness and the smoky resin of frankincense take over. The base of galbanum and cedarwood settles into a woody, slightly powdery and spicy ground. Tauer Perfumes № 04 - Rêverie au Jardin and Simone Andreoli Eterno have a close profile.
