Description

Encens Divin by Givenchy is a spicy oriental fragrance for men and women. Launched in 2018, this composition was created by Nicolas Bonneville and Joëlle Lerioux Patris. The top notes unfold with ginger, pink pepper and black pepper; the heart reveals frankincense, myrrh, rose, Atlas cedar, Texas cedar and nagarmota; while the base notes settle with balsam of Peru, benzoin,…

An exquisite and rare fragrance that reached my neurons thanks to the 10ml decant A.C. gifted me; if you merely lent it to me, I’m not returning it 😂. It’s from Givenchy’s niche collection, L’ Atelier. It opens spicy, reminding me of Spicebomb by V&R, but then reveals a subtle amber sweetness with pepper, where a very fine rose stands out. After 15-20 minutes, the magic happens: a clean, delicious amber I’ve never tried before (and Givenchy doesn’t list it on the notes). The alchemists at Bonneville and Joelle Lerioux Patris did an incredible job. I imagine Eros and Aphrodite would set the scene in Eden with this: sensual but not overly sweet, designed to delight blindfolded diners. It’s a soft, balsamic amber without any harshness, featuring delicate woods like quality cedar and an incense reminiscent of Serge Lutens’ L’ Orpheline: soft and friendly. The amber dominates, alternating with woods and incense for hours; it projects for 2 hours and lasts 6-8 hours according to my tests, finishing with incense and minimal sweetness. My only gripe: at this price (around $200 for 50ml), it should project more; after two hours, it sits close to the skin, ideal for self-indulgence or intimate closeness. A must-have for quality lovers of amber, wood, and incense. Warm regards, fellow enthusiasts.
