Histoires de Parfums Encens Roi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Céline Perdriel. Encens Roi opens with Pink Pepper, Frankincense, and Chamomile, settles into a heart of Pimiento, Cedar, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Labdanum. Histoires de Parfums's Encens Roi carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This is Frankincense, the King. A potent, deeply spiritual scent, it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, commanding attention but perhaps not suited for the faint of heart or the office drone. If you adore churchy, resinous incense, this is your holy grail; if not, best steer clear. The performance is regal, but so is its presence.

Given its strong, long-lasting performance and resinous, churchy character, Encens Roi is definitely not an office or gym scent. It shines in more formal or special occasion settings where its unique aroma can be appreciated without overwhelming others, though some reviewers find it too challenging even for that.

About

Encens Roi opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of frankincense and pink pepper, softened by an unexpected, almost medicinal chamomile. As it settles, a warm, spicy core of pimiento and saffron emerges, intertwined with dry cedar. The base anchors in a rich, balsamic labdanum, with hints of oud and a subtle sweetness that prevent it from becoming overly austere, evoking ancient rituals and hallowed halls.
