What does Encens Chypre smell like?

Bergamot, lime, peach and clary sage give the top a bright start. In the heart, Damask rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orris build a full floral body. The base brings frankincense, Malayan oud, tobacco, oakmoss and civet, leaving an earthy, smoky chypre.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so read this with caution. Its dense, resinous build suits cooler weather and evenings, and it reads neither masculine nor feminine. Sultan Pasha Attars Le Rayon Vert and Sospiro Vivace have a close profile.
