Van Cleef & Arpels — a name associated with Parisian luxury and precious creations.
In 2024, the house introduced a new fragrance from the iconic Collection Extraordinaire line — Encens Precieux.
This unisex fragrance immediately caught the attention of enthusiasts of oriental and balsamic compositions.
Encens Precieux is an ode to precious resins and spices. At the heart of the composition is frankincense, which sounds noble and mystical, intertwining with leather, myrrh, and tobacco.
The perfume opens with warm peppery notes, with a sweet vanilla trail lingering behind. It is a fragrance for those who appreciate depth and authenticity.
The sillage of Encens Precieux is intimate and subtle, making it ideal for daily use or for those who prefer delicate scents.
It is recommended to apply it by walking into a mist of the spray, and on clothing — no more than one or two spritzes. This way, the fragrance will accompany you unobtrusively but with longevity.
If you like this style, check out Amouage Epic Man — another luxurious oriental fragrance with a rich history.
Also worth trying are The Spirit of Dubai Oud and Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute — they share a love for resinous and spicy accents.
Encens Precieux is not just a perfume, but a true piece of jewelry for the skin. It is suitable for cool seasons and evening outings when you want to surround yourself with an atmosphere of mystery and coziness.
Van Cleef & Arpels once again proves that they know how to create fragrances worthy of their precious reputation.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The pyramid of Encens Precieux opens with a spicy duet of black and pink pepper, accentuated by smoky frankincense. At the heart of the composition, a leather accord unfolds, softened by sweet myrrh.
The base envelops you with the warmth of tobacco and vanilla, echoing the noble frankincense in the finish. This fragrance is a true embodiment of balsamic and oriental aesthetics.
