What does Vert d'Encens smell like?

Frankincense, fir balsam and pine resin carry the scent, while cardamom and basil add a spicy, herbal freshness. Bergamot and lemon lighten it, and jasmine and heliotrope bring a soft sweetness. The overall impression is green, woody, earthy and slightly smoky.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. It reads more masculine, though it works as a unisex scent. M. Micallef Style and Le Couvent Valparaiso have a close profile.
