What does Gothic Incense smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters lean towards fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It suits leisure, evening and office wear in roughly equal measure, so it reads neither as a heavy night scent nor as a purely daytime one.

It starts with black pepper, pink pepper and spicy notes. In the heart, frankincense absolute, frankincense and charred cedar build a resinous, smoky body. In the base, oakmoss, Atlas cedar and smoked wood tie that smoke to a dry, green finish. Bon Parfumeur 602 Poivre Cèdre Patchouli and Scents of Wood Hinoki in Hinoki have a close profile.
