Encens Suave

Which Should You Buy?
A legendary scent, oft-mourned and highly sought after since its discontinuation. This oriental gem takes the original Amour's comforting rice-pudding sweetness and enriches it with a deep, smoky incense and benzoin embrace. It's a powerhouse of warmth and sophistication, but be warned: a light touch is key to avoid overwhelming its magic.
This is a seriously polarising incense, so don't blind buy. For some, it's a sweet, comforting church-like dream; for others, it's a headache-inducing synthetic mess or just too much syrupy vanilla. It's a statement, not a safe bet.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity, combined with its rich amber and incense profile, makes it less suited for a daily office wear. However, these same characteristics, along with its 'intoxicating' and 'sensual' nature mentioned by reviewers, make it perfect for date nights and formal events, particularly in cooler weather.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its beastly projection and long-lasting nature, Encens Suave is too strong for office wear. Its sensual, warm, and luxurious character makes it perfect for date nights and formal occasions, but it's generally too heavy for casual settings.
