Encens Roi

By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense and olibanum open immediately into smoke — there's no preamble, just a deep, resinous plume that reads church-cool, slightly lemon-green at the edges from the resin's natural lift.
Saffron arrives with its characteristic dried-leather warmth, atlas cedar adding a dry, sharpened wood underneath. The transition is dense rather than subtle, the smoke deepening into something heavier as cedar and saffron stretch the composition toward leather.
Oud and labdanum take the base, joined by a quiet cocoa and vanilla that soften the edges without sweetening the core. The whole arc is smoke-and-resin, balsamic and ceremonial, with vanilla acting as a faint spotlight rather than a main player. It lingers long, dark, and devout.
