Encens Roi
Encens Roi by Histoires de Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with frankincense, chamomile and pink pepper, moves into saffron, pimento and cedarwood and dries down to cocoa, oud, labdanum and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Chamomile Herbal, apple-like and calming. Quiet and a bit hay-ish.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Dry-down
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
