Fragrance information:

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.

Character and Scent

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.

Similar Fragrances

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.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

It stands apart from the whole line. Van Cleef usually makes fragrances that feel expensively crafted, but here it's like a gas station clerk generously doused herself in sweet amber. Cheap, crude and very trend-chasing
