L'Artisan Parfumeur La Cérémonie de l'Encens is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. La Cérémonie de l'Encens settles into a heart of Cedar, Pepper, Frankincense, and Hinoki Wood. L'Artisan Parfumeur's La Cérémonie de l'Encens carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a truly divisive one. Folks either love La Cérémonie de l'Encens for its natural, meditative incense and woody spice, or they find it utterly unwearable, smelling like stale smoke or an old attic. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate projection and generally subdued nature make it acceptable for office wear, especially as a skin scent. It's too refined for active sport and generally leans towards more contemplative settings, though some find it perfect for casual outings or special evenings.

About

La Cérémonie de l'Encens opens with a crisp, earthy blend of cedar and the unique, clean greenness of hinoki wood, immediately softened by a warm, gently spiced kick of pepper. The heart reveals a profoundly natural frankincense, smoky yet refined, mingling with subtle amber undertones. It settles into a quiet, woody embrace, clean but inherently spiritual.
