Encens Japonais

by Bertrand Duchaufour

Aedes de Venustas Encens Japonais is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Encens Japonais settles into a heart of Opoponax, Patchouli, Rose, and Coffee. Aedes de Venustas's Encens Japonais carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a divisive incense. While some find it a sublime, meditative experience, others are quite turned off by a perceived sour, musty edge and lacklustre performance. Definitely test drive it.

Its intimate sillage and refined incense profile make it suitable for formal settings and dates, where it adds an air of subtle sophistication without overwhelming. For casual wear, it might be a bit too formal, and it is entirely inappropriate for sport.

About

Encens Japonais opens with a complex, spicy-woody rush, featuring hints of orange and pink pepper that quickly settle. The heart reveals a core of warm, smoky incense, smoothed by balsamic opoponax and benzoin, with a subtle floral touch of rose and iris. A faint coffee note weaves through a prominent leathery and woody base, grounded by earthy patchouli and musk, creating a sophisticated yet introspective amber scent.
