By the editors · 2 min readIncense opens with a dry, slightly smoky aura that is quickly brightened by the crisp, citrus-tinged floralcy of neroli. Vetiver provides an earthy, grassy anchor in the heart, contrasting with the clean, dewy greenness of lily of the valley and the powdery, rooty texture of iris. The composition remains relatively linear, focusing on the interplay between aromatic smokiness and soft, pale florals over a subtle woody base. Sillage is intimate, projecting just beyond the skin for the first hour before settling closer. Longevity is moderate, lasting about four to five hours in cool conditions.
