Our verdict on Encens Lumière: Favourite

Kenzo's Encens Lumière is an interesting enigma - a refined, subtly smoky, and floral incense that some find captivatingly unique, while others are left wanting more oomph or find it a bit too 'great-granny' for their taste. It's a quiet charmer, not a loud statement, so don't expect beast mode.

About

Encens Lumière opens with a warm, inviting embrace of saffron, quickly intermingling with a delicate, luminous freesia. The heart weaves in a gentle, smoky incense, not heavy or churchy, but soft and ethereal. This develops into a sophisticated blend of balsamic warmth, hints of refined leather, and a subtle metallic edge, creating a skin-close amber aura that's both modern and understated. It's an airy, nuanced take on incense.
