Encens Suave Matière Première 2024 Extrait de Parfum

As an owner and fan of the original "Encens Suave (Eau de Parfum) | Matière Première," I was very curious to test the new Extrait in detail - so I participated in one of the first sharings here.

Now I have been able to test both fragrances side by side - my conclusion is relatively simple - the Extrait simply offers a little bit more of everything.

Frankincense feels more high-quality - but it also comes across as brighter/sacred (not everyone likes that, but I do). Vanilla feels rounder, warmer, more natural - also more beautiful.

The H/S also feels a bit higher (which wasn't bad in the old one) - one has to decide for oneself whether that is a positive aspect - many people don’t like frankincense…

Directly next to each other, I find the Extrait a bit more beautiful, but when worn separately, I find them almost equal for myself.

If I didn't have the original, I would consider getting the Extrait (on sale - the price is already high…) - as an owner of the original - it’s not necessary at all.
