About This Perfume
Think Smoky incense with creamy vanilla on roasted coffee: that is Matiere Premiere Encens Suave. It opens with coffee, moves into incense and Madagascar vanilla and settles on benzoin and labdanum. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits nights out. Released in 2019.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and smoky for nights out.
- Sample first if: resinous is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike smoky fragrances.
Around $169.
