Description
Matiere Premiere's Encens Suave is a captivating oriental spicy fragrance that launched in 2019, designed for anyone who appreciates a rich, enveloping scent. It opens with a distinct coffee note, quickly transitioning into a heart where the sensuality of Somalian incense is beautifully balanced with the creamy sweetness of Madagascar vanilla. As it settles, a warm and resinous base of benzoin and labdanum emerges, creating an addictive and comforting finish that lingers beautifully on the skin. This fragrance masterfully blends the sacred and the sensual, offering a unique take on incense that is both profound and inviting.
