Givenchy Encens Divin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Nicolas Bonneville and Joëlle Lerioux Patris. Encens Divin opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, Rose, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Benzoin, Tolu Balsam, and Amberwood. Givenchy's Encens Divin carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a true hidden gem, balancing sophisticated mystery with an understated elegance that defies easy categorisation. Lovers of rich, oriental spices will adore its nuanced blend, while some might find its discretion a touch too subtle for their taste. Definitely worth seeking out.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate projection and warm, elegant accords make it suitable for mature dates and formal events without being overwhelming. While it can be worn casually, its richness might feel a bit much for everyday wear; it's definitely not a gym scent.

About

Encens Divin opens with a warm, spiced kick of ginger and a trio of peppers, quickly melding into a heart of rich, balsamic labdanum, smoky incense, and a subtle rose. The base deepens into a luxurious, warm embrace of sweet vanilla, tolu balsam, and amberwood, creating an enveloping, smooth, woody-oriental experience. It's a scent that smells expensive and sophisticated without screaming for attention.
