Guerlain 2012 EDP
Encens Mythique D'Orient
Guerlain Encens Mythique D'Orient is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Thierry Wasser. Encens Mythique D'Orient opens with Rose, Saffron, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Incense, and Ambergris. Guerlain's Encens Mythique D'Orient carries an Acquired verdict, an elemental-led wear.
Encens Mythique D'Orient is a true 'love it or hate it' scent, notorious for its controversial ambergris and aldehydes. Some find it a masterpiece of airy, luxurious incense and rose, others can't stand the funky, 'burning electronics' vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for the adventurous.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Given its intense performance and divisive character, this scent is ill-suited for the office or casual daywear. It truly shines for formal events and dates, where its bold and mysterious aura can make a statement without overwhelming. Its longevity and sillage demand occasions where it can be appreciated.
