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 incense, labdanum, rose, Atlas cedar, Texas cedar, and nard; while the base notes land with balsam of Peru, benzoin,…

Exquisite and hard-to-find fragrance that reached my neurons thanks to the 10ml decant A.C. gifted me; if you only lent it to me, you’re not getting it back 😂. It’s from Givenchy’s niche collection, L’ Atelier. It starts spicy, reminding me of Spicebomb by V&R, but then reveals a subtle amber sweetness with pepper, where a very refined rose stands out. At 15-20 minutes, the magic happens: a clean, delicious amber I’ve never experienced before (and Givenchy doesn’t even 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, perfect for delighting blindfolded guests. It’s a soft, balsamic amber without any harshness, featuring delicate woods like quality cedar and an incense similar to 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 based on my tests, finishing with incense and minimal sweetness. My only gripe: at this price (around $200 for 50ml), it should project more; after 2 hours, it’s skin scent only, ideal for self-pleasure or intimate closeness. A must-have for quality lovers of amber, wood, and incense. Warm greetings, fellow fragrance enthusiasts.
