A hint of mystery. Shimmering dunes, heat rising from the heart of the desert, a tribute to the resin of all resins.
Encens Roi is a tribute to the resin of all resins. Incense is the crossroads of peoples, the intersection of cultures long separated by time, language and war. Starting from the historical and legendary aspects of this ancient resin, Encens Roi begins with the raw material and develops into an allegory that combines the incomparable clarity of incense with the addictive creaminess of white cocoa, embraced by an ascetic and regal frame of oud and saffron.
Under the fruity and herbaceous rays of Roman chamomile, the mineral and sparkling sparkle of incense meets the woody and almost salty freshness of Schinus molle, which together are reminiscent of the crackling bark of incense trees and their resin, which in turn exude their resinous aromas in the scorching desert wind. Saffron is drawn to uplifting yet sensual Atlas cedarwood, unfolding the richness of its leather and tobacco undertones, its lustre and temperament, turquoise-red splashes illuminated by the spicy glow of allspice berry. Incense and saffron, the divine and the profane, the Abrahamic and the Babylonian, both enrich their song: one with the mystical, ecstatic, mystagogical darkness of oud and the balsamic warmth of cistus, the other with decadent and overdosed accents of white cocoa and vanilla, backward-looking, impulsive and opulent. A web of sweet and cold wisps of smoke, a path of pleasure and a path of enlightenment, the resin of gods and princes: Encens Roi collects the stories of a humanity that has never stopped hoping.
