The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Encens Jinhae by Atelier Cologne, launched in 2016, weaves together an aromatic blend that oscillates between the freshness of pink pepper and lemon and the warmth of nutmeg and olibanum. The heart of this fragrance is anchored by Turkey Red Rose and cherry blossom, creating a floral bouquet that feels both delicate and profound. It settles into a base of elemi resin, patchouli, and sandalwood, which adds an earthy richness to the overall composition. This unisex scent embodies Atelier Cologne’s commitment to merging citrus and herbal notes in a richer, longer-lasting form.

How to wear it

Apply Encens Jinhae in light layers as it builds on skin over time. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, while the aromatic and woody base notes develop slowly, creating a lasting warmth that is best appreciated up close.
