“One of my absolute favourites. Encens Suave smells like the sharp airy part of incense smoke right after you light it. Dry warm, slightly dusty incense instead of thick resinous smoke. I barely get coffee honestly. Mostly woods, musk, incense and this soft sweetness underneath that keeps it smooth without turning fully gourmand.To me, it smells like old wood and paper in winter. Very comforting but still elegant and a little dramatic, very goth.The opening is my favourite part and it lasts forever on clothes with barely any sprays.Not a safe blind buy.”
“Smells nice. Ambery balsamic with a touch of smoke and and sweetness.The way smoke is used is very similar to Royal Incense but these are different perfumes.In dry down and in the air, it's has some similarities to Gold Cedar Nights by Jesus Del Pozo. I would recommend giving it a try if you like this. I prefer GCN over this personally. It's slightly sweeter with a longer lasting coffee note.”
“This is really good.Similar scent profile to Vanagloria and Babycat but not as strong and heavy as the two.The main difference is here the vanilla is toned down and the smoke is amped up.Great scent, i have tried the Extrait version of this which is also really good but definitely not worth the price.”

Sillage
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.

Sillage
The clone emphasizes cinnamon and pepper spice over the original's refined incense and galbanum, resulting in a warmer but less nuanced fragrance. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but the olfactory character is distinctly different in the middle and base phases.
