Unfortunately, I can only describe it as smelling like benzoin! Benzoin burnt as incense has a smooth, warm, very sweet,
almost vanilla like scent, benzoin tincture very similar but a little duller and without the smoke. It might be a good idea, if you like incense notes, to buy some incense charcoal and some resins to get an idea of the smells - try "alternative religion" themed shops - or try essential oils or tinctures of these resins.

Oddly, to my nose the heart notes of Knize Ten smell
strongly of benzoin incense, though it's not listed as a note. Go figure.
