HISTOIRES DE PARFUMS Encens Roi EDP 60ml
A breath of mystery. A mystical and sacred starry night. Iridescent dunes, the heat that rises from the heart of the
desert. Burning rocks, trees petrified by summer and a white, translucent, royal, and mythical sap: Encens
Roi is a tribute to incense.
The most excellent of offerings burned by mankind for nearly five millennia, a bridge between the material and
the immaterial, thin and fragrant veil between the sacred and the profane, the purest and most characteristic expression of energy
vital that animates and unites the continents. Frankincense captures, elevates, calms, illuminates. From the banks rich in
spices from ancient India to the naves of Gothic basilicas; from the coronation of the Babylonian kings to the birth of
Christ; from the peaks of the Hajar mountains in Oman to the desert plains of Somalia; from Cleopatra to Alexander
Great, from Ulysses to Salome, from the pharaohs to the centuries to come, Frankincense is the crossroads of peoples, the union of
civilizations that time, language and wars have kept apart for a long time. Drawing on the history and legends of
this mother of resins, Encens Roi is transformed into an allegory of the natural raw material by combining the
clarity of Olibanum with the creaminess of white cocoa on an ascetic frame given by oud and saffron.
Like a modern prayer, Encens Roi captures the essence of the gods and transforms it into the perfume of principles and
monks. A breath of mystery, between the sacred purity of frankincense and the mystical warmth of precious balms,
Encens Roi is an ode to the most fragrant and ancient of offerings.
