HISTOIRES DE PARFUMS Encens Roi EDP 60ml A breath of mystery. A mystical and sacred starry night. Iridescent dunes, the heat rising from the heart of the desert. Fiery rocks, trees petrified by summer and a white, translucent, regal, and mythical sap: Encens Roi is a tribute to incense. The most excellent of the offerings burned by humanity for almost five millennia, a bridge between the material and the immaterial, a thin and fragrant veil between the sacred and the profane, the purest and most characteristic expression of the vital energy that animates and unites the continents. Frankincense captures, elevates, calms, illuminates. From the spice-rich shores of 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 the 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 long kept apart. Drawing on the history and legends of this mother of resins, Encens Roi transforms itself 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 princes 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. Top notes: Olibanum CO2*, Roman chamomile, Schinus molle; Heart notes: Saffron, Allspice berries CO2*, Atlas cedarwood; Base notes: white cocoa, oud, cistus, vanilla. *The extraction technique of some of the elements of Encens Roi is innovative and respectful of the earth, the extraction of a natural raw material with CO2 in a supercritical state does not produce gas greenhouse gas or pollutants because, in this state, carbon dioxide has the viscosity of a gas and the density of a liquid, which makes it a sufficiently effective solvent.
