Encens Mythique is a smoky effect; a divine emotion. A unisex oriental fragrance that is precious and enveloping. An ethereal frankincense leaves only a fleeting mark on this fragrance, while rose imprints its fiery accents. But the endless sweetness and exceptional depth comes from authentic and majestic ambergris of New Zealand, specially selected by Thierry Wasser for this fragrance. It is what gives this fragrance its intense character.
Encens Mythique is a unisex woody chypre fragrance that launched in 2019 and was created by Thierry Wasser. It features top notes of aldehydes, rose and saffron; middle notes of pink pepper, vetiver and patchouli; and base notes of ambergris, olibanum and woody notes. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
Fragrantica: The smell of the coast, marine life, and weathered volcanic rocks. Although incense (frankincense) is mentioned in the title and also in the composition, it is not to be found here in the form of an individual note, which many niche brands have accustomed us to, but rather as a memory of its smoke thanks to the clever play of the other accords present in the composition. The key ingredients are rose, saffron and the truest New Zealand gray ambergris essence, the use of which in this fragrance Wasser paid special attention, sorting pieces of ambergris into several groups depending on the nuances of smell, choosing the most appropriate for the concept of Encens Mythique. However, before the ambergris comes to the fore, we are greeted by an unusual head accord of aldehydes, which add power to the rose and saffron duo. The presence of the rose essence can be felt for a while, but it heads rather quickly to the ambergris base, which is wonderfully warm, deep, sweet and musky at the same time, while being very sensual. It smells surprisingly loud, lasts very long and surrounds the wearer with a truly luxurious aura. Encens Mythique shines with full brilliance.
Fragrantica: NOT a safe blind buy. It can smell a bit slightly fishy, animalic, almost like a jetty. But the sillage is beautiful. It reminds me of the ocean. It's not a smoky incense; it's like an aromatic incense, almost smells like after the incense has burned. It smells like an underwater temple that has now come up on the land, has got barnicles and marine growth and someone lit incense nearby.
Fragrantica: Brief and bright rose and aldehydes ignite on initial application, soon engulfed by a dark blue monolithic ambergris. Scent hallucinations spark off from the droning base, a bar of soap on my grandmothers bathroom sink 20 years ago, unlit incense sticks in a rectangular box, salty oceanic froth, the red mesh of saffron in a souk. Beautiful. Might be unpleasant or challenging to some noses.
