The incense scent is smoky, resinous, and deeply spiritual, evoking the calming and meditative aroma of burning resins and woods. Its rich, mystical profile makes it a staple in creating exotic and contemplative fragrances.
Incense in perfumery is often crafted using smoky accords derived from frankincense, myrrh, and labdanum, as well as molecules like guaiacol and benzoin resinoid. It’s typically used in base accords, adding a grounding and long-lasting depth to compositions.
Compared to similar resinous notes like amber or myrrh, incense is smokier and drier, with a touch of warmth that feels timeless and sacred. Perfect for candles, diffusers, and body care products, the incense scent creates a serene and meditative atmosphere, ideal for relaxation or ritualistic moments.
