Matière Première Encens Suave is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aurélien Guichard. Encens Suave opens with Coffee, settles into a heart of Vanilla and Incense, and dries down to a base of Labdanum and Benzoin. Matière Première's Encens Suave carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising incense, so don't blind buy. For some, it's a sweet, comforting church-like dream; for others, it's a headache-inducing synthetic mess or just too much syrupy vanilla. It's a statement, not a safe bet.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beastly projection and long-lasting nature, Encens Suave is too strong for office wear. Its sensual, warm, and luxurious character makes it perfect for date nights and formal occasions, but it's generally too heavy for casual settings.

About

Encens Suave opens with a fleeting whisper of coffee, quickly giving way to a dominant, rich incense accord. This isn't your austere, cold church incense; it's a warm, resinous, almost gourmand take, sweetened by creamy vanilla and softened by balsamic labdanum and benzoin in the drydown. The amber and warm spicy facets are ever-present, creating a luxurious and enveloping scent trail.
