Encens Suave takes frankincense away from the church and turns it into a rich, enveloping material, worn purely for pleasure. Omani frankincense oil is its central material.
Andalusian cistus labdanum and Sumatran benzoin accentuate its sensuality, while a Venezuelan coffee extract and Madagascan vanilla absolute give it a gourmand facet. A resinous, carnal amber.

Encens Suave in detail
Matière Première builds each creation on an overdose of a natural material. Encens Suave, signed by Aurélien Guichard, is devoted to Omani frankincense, made sensual and warmed by an accord of coffee and vanilla: a soft, resinous amber.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Incense dominates, luminous and slightly lemony. Labdanum and benzoin, two resins, give it a balsamic depth. Coffee and vanilla soften it with a gourmand, roasted touch.
Encens Suave is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a quiet evening, a dinner, a concert. It will suit anyone who loves incense but prefers it warm rather than austere.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Ambre Chromatique by Maison Crivelli brings together incense, benzoin and vanilla; Guidance by Amouage pairs incense, labdanum and vanilla with rose and pear; Herod by Parfums de Marly finds incense, labdanum and vanilla again around tobacco.
