EDPUnisex
The Story
Encens Suave is a rich, resinous incense fragrance that feels both sacred and sensual. The 2012 original opens with a burst of black pepper and elemi, then settles into a heart of frankincense and myrrh. A base of labdanum and vanilla adds a warm, almost gourmand sweetness. It's a contemplative scent that lingers beautifully.
