Incense (church smoke)
Burning resin smells different from raw resin; the smoky church air is built around frankincense.
- What it is
- An idea of a smell that perfumers build: there is nothing to extract it from.
- How perfumers build it
- Known in
- Avignon (Comme des Garçons, 2002)
- Worth knowing
- Frankincense oil smells lemony and piney; the smoky 'incense' effect needs other materials added.
