What Does Encens Suave by Matiere Premiere Smell Like?
Encens Suave by Matiere Premiere is a dark, gourmand incense fragrance that balances smoke with sweetness. It opens with a distinct coffee note, rich and roasted, before the heart brings black incense together with creamy Madagascar vanilla. The base of Laotian benzoin and Spanish labdanum adds a resinous, amber warmth that keeps the whole composition intimate and inviting.
Perfumer Aurelien Guichard described the inspiration as a black incense, both addictive and carnal, and the scent follows through: smoky but smooth, sweet but never sugary, with the coffee giving it an unusual, comforting depth from the very first spray.
Encens Suave Notes and Performance
- Top notes: coffee
- Heart notes: incense, Madagascar vanilla
- Base notes: benzoin, labdanum
The Encens Suave perfume was launched in 2019 as an eau de parfum. It is a unisex fragrance, and its performance is serious: expect 8 to 10 hours of wear with moderate to strong sillage, particularly in cooler air where the resins project best.
Who Is Encens Suave Best For?
Encens Suave is made for cooler months and evening wear: autumn dinners, winter nights, and occasions that call for something warm and magnetic. It suits lovers of incense, amber, and coffee notes, and works well as a signature cold-weather scent. For a bolder, spicier incense, try Istanbul's Soul by Alghabra Parfums; for something fresh and daring in a different register, Overdose by Scentologia brings a modern green-herbal energy.

Does the coffee note dominate?
The coffee leads the opening but blends into the incense and vanilla within the first hour, becoming a warm background richness.
When should I wear Encens Suave?
Cold weather and evenings show it at its best, when the smoke and resin have room to unfold.
Encens Suave rewards patience: the coffee opening lasts about twenty minutes before the incense and vanilla take over, and the final benzoin-labdanum accord is what people remember most. Two sprays are usually enough for an evening, since the concentration carries well in still air.
