...Actually, I'd expect any scent named after Warhol to smell like a combination of the following: chlorine, body odor, tempra paint, and xerox emissions. Something that only a Goth would find attractive :p

"Incense" is a pretty damn vague scent description. That's like saying it's "scented candle" or "perfume" scented. There are probably thousands of different incenses in the world.

i would think that a perfume named after the factory would smell like a combination of paint fumes, cigarette smoke, booze, sweat, and the smell given off by the velvet underground's cranked-up amplifiers. either way, i'm sure andy would totally love this.

Weren't "Incense, Wood Resin, Amber, Jasmine, Iris, Violet and Cedarwood" names of actresses in his films, along with Holly Woodlawn and Candy Darling and the like?

Everyone knows that if you want novelty perfume that make sense and smells delicious, you go to the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Lovecraft smells better than Warhol, anyway.
