What does Frankincense smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters place it mostly in daily, leisure and business settings, with some picking it for evenings and nights out.

It opens with angelica seed, Persian elemi and coriander seed, giving a fresh, green and spicy start. In the heart, myrrh, Egyptian geranium and Somalian frankincense form the resinous, smoky core. The base of labdanum absolute, Siam benzoin and Atlas cedar settles it into a woody, warm finish. Olibanum. Sacra and Trudon Mortel Noir have a close profile.
