Histoires de Parfums Encens Roi Eau de Parfum

A touch of mysticism under a starry night sky: Encens Roi by Histoires de Parfums is a spicy unisex fragrance and a fascinating homage to frankincense—that royal resin that has been burned for nearly five millennia as the noblest of all offerings. The fragrance evokes images of shimmering dunes, blazing desert heat, and burning rocks from which a white, translucent sap springs forth. In a modern prayer, Encens Roi combines the sharpness of olibanum with the creaminess of white cocoa within an ascetic framework of oud and saffron.
At the opening, the mineral sparkle of olibanum, bathed in the herbaceous rays of Roman chamomile, meets the woody, almost salty freshness of Schinus molle, reminiscent of the crackling bark of frankincense trees. At the heart, saffron, combined with noble cedarwood, unfolds its richness of leathery and tobacco-like nuances, while the vibrant red of allspice berries adds fiery accents.
In the base, the profound mysticism of oud is enriched by the balsamic warmth of rockrose. Finally, a generous dose of white cocoa and vanilla lends the fragrance a gentle, gourmand note. This olfactory balancing act between the sacred and the profane captures the essence of the gods and transforms it into an elixir for princes and monks. Furthermore, the composition stands out thanks to an innovative, eco-friendly CO₂ extraction process that produces absolutely no greenhouse gases or pollutants.
