Usage notes
- Often literary or elevated. In everyday speech, magia or fascino is usually more natural.
- Common in fixed phrases like d'incanto and rompere l'incanto; less often used alone in casual conversation.
- For a person’s appeal, fascino is usually better than incanto, which sounds more poetic or abstract.
