Description:
Encens Précieux is part of Van Cleef & Arpels’ Collection Extraordinaire, a range dedicated to highlighting distinctive materials of fine perfumery. Created by Jordi Fernandez, the fragrance places incense at the centre of a rich woody-amber composition inspired by the heat and atmosphere of desert landscapes.

The opening combines incense with black and pink pepper, creating a dry, lively spiciness. Myrrh and a leather accord develop through the heart, bringing balsamic warmth and a darker, smoky character. Incense continues into the base alongside tobacco and vanilla, softening the composition with rounded warmth while preserving its resinous identity. The result is a sophisticated interpretation of incense that moves from sharp spice into smoky leather, tobacco and subtly sweet vanilla.

Please note, when ordering a decant size, you will receive the original fragrance in a glass vial atomizer, not the bottle pictured above.
