VAN CLEEF & ARPEL ENCENS PRECIEUX UNISEX EDP (TESTER)

Incense, leather and a lot of smoke.

Black and pink pepper crack the opening, then frankincense and myrrh settle into leather. The base is tobacco and vanilla, which keeps the resin from going austere. Jordi Fernandez built it as a proper oriental, not a polite one.

Smoky and animalic in the drydown, with longevity scored 8.4 out of 10 on Parfumo. Made for evenings and cool weather. This listing is the tester presentation, which is the same juice in a simpler outer box.
