Incense

What does incense smell like?

Incense smells smoky, warm, and a little sweet, like the inside of a temple or a lit agarbatti. It feels rich and grounding, not harsh. In the 640+ perfumes in the FragranVerse database, it is often blended with woods or spices to soften it. For India and UAE heat, buy an incense perfume that mixes it with citrus or rose. That way, the smoke stays elegant, not heavy. On hot, humid skin, it lasts long but wears closer, so a small spray on your wrist is enough.
