The Scoop
Incense Alchemy captures the resinous, aromatic character of Encens Suave quite well, with a solid representation of the frankincense and myrrh heart. However, the clone substitutes oud with cedar in the middle notes and uses lemon instead of bergamot in the opening, creating a slightly brighter, more citric profile that diverges from the original's warm spiced opening.
Key Differences
The clone lacks the deep oud richness found in Encens Suave, resulting in a lighter, more herbaceous dry-down. Longevity appears comparable, but the overall olfactory experience leans more linear and less complex than the original's layered incense composition.

What wearers say
“This is an addictive incense offering. Sweet and sexy. It reminds strongly of Matiere Premier’s Encens Suave. As it is still new it is not as beastly as ES, but I’ve learnt that ME perfumes take some time to mature and ultimately improve in terms of sillage and longevity. It smells so luxurious. It is an absolute love for me. Encens Suave Extrait has been on my wishlist for such a long time, but this scratches the itch for me. I will not be purchasing ESE as the differences between this and that are so negligable.”
“This is a sweet, warm, dry, smoky vanilla on me with a touch of brown sugar and wood. I love it. Truly unisex, I think, and very comforting. Doesn’t last as long as I’d like but maybe I go nose blind, who knows?”
“Fresh incense offering with hints of woods and vanilla that sits close to the skin and is quite addicting and refined. Can't go wrong with this, love it!”
