Is Encens Suave suitable for the office or daily wear?+−
Due to its extreme potency and heavy resinous profile, most users recommend it for evenings, leisure, or special occasions. If worn to the office, a very light application is necessary to keep the smoky sillage from becoming overwhelming in enclosed spaces.
How does this compare to other vanilla or incense fragrances?+−
Unlike "gourmand" vanillas that smell like dessert, Encens Suave is spicy and smoky. It shares a similar DNA with scents like Vanagloria, but emphasizes the Somali frankincense and roasted coffee notes more heavily, making it feel more "oriental" and less culinary.
Is this a masculine or feminine fragrance?+−
It is marketed and worn as a true unisex fragrance. The sweetness of the Bourbon vanilla and benzoin appeals to those who prefer feminine leaning scents, while the dark coffee, labdanum, and heavy smoke provide a ruggedness often associated with masculine perfumery.
