Paul Guerlain crafted Fétiche L’Encens in 2024 for Christian Louboutin, creating a fragrance that oscillates between fresh spiciness and warm woody notes. The opening is sharp and invigorating with an aromatic punch, but the heart of amber and powdery woods adds depth and warmth, making it a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day. This composition captures the essence of French elegance while offering a modern twist with its dynamic interplay between freshness and richness.

Application Tips
Apply Fétiche L’Encens liberally to ensure the full range of its dynamic notes is experienced. The aromatic top notes are fleeting but powerful, so it’s important that they’re felt right away. Once these dissipate, the rich amber and woody base will settle in for a long-lasting warmth.
