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.

About

The name mentions incense, but the notes given are plum brandy, leather and vanilla caviar. It opens with plum brandy, a fruity and slightly boozy sweetness. Leather sits in the heart, adding a dry, smooth, slightly smoky texture that stops the sweetness getting sticky. The base is vanilla caviar, a creamy and rich vanilla that rounds everything off and lingers. The overall effect is a warm, gourmand and leathery scent that works for both men and women, best in cooler weather.
