What does Incenso smell like?

Cardamom and pink pepper give the opening a lively, spicy edge. In the heart, cypriol and frankincense build a resinous, smoky mood, while vetiver carries the green, woody line into the base. The overall impression is dry and serious, far from sweet.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters choose it most for evenings and nights out, with leisure and daily wear close behind. It reads equally at home on men and women.
