Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and clean, non-offensive character make it suitable for office and casual wear. The elegant blend of notes lends itself well to dates, but its subdued nature might be too quiet for formal events, and certainly not for sport.

About

Encens Asakusa opens with a delicate, almost airy frankincense, softened immediately by a whisper of red fruits and a hint of green cypress. As it settles, powdery iris and ethereal violet emerge, lending a gentle, floral sophistication. The base reveals a clean musk alongside the warm, spiritual undertones of myrrh and olibanum, creating a serene and meditative dry down.
