Snacking chocolate in the cathedral
That I have a soft spot for incense fragrances is I think sufficiently known and yes, I am what the note simply to inspire.
As originally baptized Protestant and already as a child not really receptive to whatever faith messages I have what concerns the fragrance thus also no negative associations regarding incense.
The brand Histoire de Parfums already belongs since my early days at Parfumo to the brands which I follow with great interest and many fragrances of it could convince me. All the more I was curious about this incense fragrance.
During a city stroll in The Hague we landed more or less by chance in the perfumery Celeste and already after the first sniff at the test was clear, which will accompany me home as a vacation souvenir. Fortunately, my husband was also enthusiastic, which facilitated the purchase again.
But now to the fragrance.
Even if incense is listed in the top note, the fragrance is something like the supporting pillar of the fragrance image. In the prelude is very delicate still the chamomile to guess. Before a slightly peppery spice makes itself felt.
Somehow, for my nose, the specified heart notes do not really come to fruition. Where cedar with a lot of imagination could still get there.
Rather, it goes on for me immediately with the base.
Cistus gives the incense note again fragrant support and cocoa (I guess here rather on patchouli) with a touch of vanilla give the fragrance now something soft and relaxed. So I imagine it when you secretly nibble in a cathedral for mass some chocolate, after the acolytes have just passed with the thurible.
The specified oud does not occur for my nose at any time and it will surprise no one if it is also not missed by me.
The durability is super and also the sillage is not exactly shy. This is not so noticeable when wearing it yourself. But my husband had the fragrance now put on several times and he was the entire day clearly, but not unpleasant to smell.
In the basic features Encens Roi is somewhat similar to the fragrance Mystik Incense by Merchant of Venice, which is due to the combination of incense and cocoa.
In direct comparison, however, the MoV is then sweeter and somehow more sensual, in my opinion. But that is of course my subjective feeling.
Encens Roi absolutely needs a preference for incense and who does not have, can probably save the test.
