Maison Incens · 2020

Green · Fruity · Sweet

Maison Incens Encens Kapnos is a unisex fragrance that moves from a green, fruity start into a resinous, smoky frankincense base, and it leans towards fall and spring. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It is suggested mostly for leisure and evenings. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably between the two. It opens with red fruits and green notes, giving a sweet, slightly synthetic freshness. In the heart, leathery notes, woody notes and frankincense come forward, adding a spicy, smoky edge. The base keeps the frankincense, softened and sweetened by gourmand and musky notes.

Maison Incens · 2020

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Maison Incens Encens Pyro is a smoky, resinous unisex fragrance that leans towards autumn and winter, with a warm woody-spicy character that suggests fire. It opens with bergamot, spicy notes and a fire note. The heart brings together frankincense, honey, cedarwood, iris and jasmine, with the floral side sitting quietly beneath the smoky resin. In the base, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and leathery notes sweeten and soften it, drying down powdery and warm. Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most recommend autumn and winter, and leisure and evening wear are the most common picks. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits evenly between the two. Maison Incens Ambre Ayanna and Amouage Interlude Black Iris have a close profile.
