Serge Lutens Encens et Lavande is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996, created by Christopher Sheldrake. The fragrance opens with Clary Sage, Juniper, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Lavender Absolute and Sage, and dries down to a base of Incense, Myrrh, Benzoin, and Frankincense.
Our verdict on Encens et Lavande: Statement
This one's a Marmite scent - you'll either love its stark, realistic lavender and incense blend, or you'll be running for the hills. It's a clean, cold, and unapologetic take on two classic notes, proving that simplicity can hide profound depth. If you're after sweet and soft, look elsewhere; this is for those who crave austere elegance.

Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its moderate sillage and clean, non-offensive aroma make it suitable for office wear. While not a typical 'date night' scent, its sophisticated and calming nature lends itself to more intimate, understated occasions. It's too refined for sport but versatile enough for casual and some formal settings, particularly where subtlety is valued.
