Our verdict on Encens Suave: Acquired

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.

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.
