Description
A mysterious whisper, between the hallowed purity of Frankincense and the mystical warmth of precious balsams, Encens Roi is an ode to the most scented and ancient of offerings.
Under fruity and herbaceous rays of Roman chamomile, the mineral and zesty sparkle of olibanum CO2 meets the woody and almost salty freshness of schinus molle, together evoking the crackling bark of incense trees and their resin, passively exuding their resinous effluvia in scorching desert winds. Drawn by an uplifting yet carnal atlas cedarwood, saffron unfolds the richness of its leather and tobacco undertones, its sheen and its temper, Turkey-red splatters lit up by spicy embers of pimento berry. Olibanum and saffron, the divine and the profane, the Abrahamic and the Babylonian, each enriching their song, one with the mystical, ecstatic, mystagogic darkness of oud and the balsamic warmth of cistus; the other with decadent and overdosed accents of white cacao and vanilla, regressive, impious and gourmand. Interlaced billows of sweet and cold smokes; a path of pleasure and a path of enlightenment; the resin of gods and of princes: Encens Roi collects the tales of a humanity that has never ceased to hope. Made in France.
