Description

Under fruity and herbaceous rays of Roman Chamomile, the mineral and zesty sparkle of Olibanum CO2 meets the woody and almost salty freshness of Schinus Molle, together evoking the crackling bark of Incense Trees and their resin, passively exuding their resinous effluvia in scorching desert winds. Drawn by an uplifting yet carnal Atlas Cedarwood, Saffron unfolds the richness of its leather and tobacco undertones, its sheen and its temper, Turkey-red splatters lit up by spicy embers of Pimento Berry. Olibanum and Saffron, the divine and the profane, the Abrahamic and the Babylonian, each enriching their song, one with the mystical, ecstatic, mystagogic darkness of Oud and the balsamic warmth of Cistus; the other with decadent and overdosed accents of White Cacao and Vanilla, regressive, impious and gourmand. Interlaced billows of sweet and cold smokes; a path of pleasure and a path of enlightenment; the resin of gods and of princes: Encens Roi collects the tales of a Humanity that has never ceased to hope.

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
