Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Thierry Wasser. Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique opens with Rose, Saffron, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Woody, Frankincense, and Ambergris. Guerlain's Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

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.

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.
