What does Incense 01 smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with little support for the office. It tilts slightly masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine.
It opens with rum, juniper and bergamot, with frankincense already present. In the heart, roasted almond, fig and hazelnut add a gourmand warmth, softened a little by lily of the valley. The base of sandalwood, dark chocolate, vanilla and cedarwood settles into a resinous, creamy, woody finish. Contre Bombarde 32 and Atlas Fever have a close profile.
