Our verdict on Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique: Acquired

This one's proper divisive, isn't it? Love it or hate it, Encens Mythique is a Guerlain stunner that either evokes ancient cathedrals and nautical whimsy or... a public loo. An unmissable olfactive journey, assuming your nose isn't broken.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage make it a bit much for the office without careful application. However, its complex, elegant character and luxurious feel are perfectly suited for formal events and romantic evenings, where it will leave a lasting impression.

About

Encens Mythique opens with a sparkling, almost mentholated rose, lifted sky-high by bright aldehydes and a whisper of saffron. It then plunges into a warm, woody embrace of vetiver and patchouli, spiced with pink pepper. The dry-down is an elegant, lingering haze of frankincense and rich ambergris, creating a truly mysterious, almost aquatic depth that's both ancient and modern.
