By the editors · 2 min readOr Encens positions itself far from the original L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme's aquatic restraint. Rose and labdanum open with a smoky-floral note that reads less garden and more cathedral — the resinous quality present from the first application. Incense and cumin in the heart develop that church-like weight, while pink pepper keeps the composition from settling into the merely dense.
The base is a deep construction of leather, sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver — woody and grounding, the kind of foundation that makes everything above it legible over time. Or Encens wears best in cool weather and doesn't fully reveal itself until an hour into skin.
