About This Perfume
Encens Lumière by Kenzo is a fragrance for women and men. Encens Lumière was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. The fragrance features Incense, Freesia and Saffron. Interpretation of a hut with mystical scents; that of the worn leather and the silk of kimonos, majestic dresses impregnated with incense sachets that geishas slip into the hollow of their sleeves to perfume themselves. The Eau de Parfum Encens Lumière, for women and men, accurately combines the smoky notes of Incense with the floral sweetness of Freesia and Saffron flowers. Perfumer Karine Dubreuil-Sereni explains"I endeavored to capture the olfactory sensations - as I imagined them - that one may experience in a mysterious Japanese teahouse. Incense is the very pillar of my creation. A noble material, it brings unique light as well as depth and elegance to this perfume. Its contrasting scents first exude sparkling top notes, before giving way to a warm and enveloping trail."
