The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024, Encens Precieux by Van Cleef & Arpels is a creation by perfumer Jordi Fernández that blends smoky and warm spicy accords with a rich balsamic base. The fragrance opens with fresh and sweet notes, which quickly give way to the depth of amber and leather, creating an atmosphere that feels both ancient and modern. Encens Precieux captures the essence of a sacred ritual, where incense smoke intertwines with the warmth of spices and the subtle animalic undertones.
For best effect, apply Encens Precieux to pulse points and let it develop over an hour. The smoky top notes are fleeting but essential, while the warm base notes provide a lasting warmth that reads better close to skin.
