{"product_id":"matiere-premiere-encens-suave-eau-de-parfum-sample","title":"Matière Première Encens Suave Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eMatière Première Encens Suave is an Eau de Parfum built on incense oil from Oman, with labdanum, benzoin, Venezuelan coffee and Madagascar vanilla around it. The brand calls it a generous pleasure incense, black and carnal, and credits Aurélien Guichard. Incense ranges from austere to cosy, so a decant is the practical way to find where this one sits for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncense oil (Oman), Labdanum absolute (Andalusia), Benzoin absolute (Sumatra), Coffee extraction (Venezuela), Vanilla absolute (Madagascar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOmani incense\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncense oil from Oman is the central material and sets a dry, smoky-resinous tone. Expect a dark rather than airy kind of incense, closer to a stone building than to a sweet stick. Everything else on the list exists to warm and deepen it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLabdanum and benzoin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo resins sit beside it. Labdanum has a leathery, ambery darkness and benzoin a balsamic, vanillic warmth, and between them they soften the smoke into something skin-like. The brand speaks of the sensual side of the incense, and this is where it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCoffee and vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVenezuelan coffee and Madagascar vanilla supply the unexpected, warm, gourmand edge the brand mentions. Coffee gives a bitter, roasted dark note and vanilla rounds it off. The result is darker than sweet, a touch of dessert inside a smoky frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutumn and winter evenings suit it, or a quiet dark day indoors. Apply lightly to the chest or neck, because warmth brings out the resins, and add more only if you want to. Wear it twice before judging, since a smoky scent needs time to move from first impression to something you actually know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor incense lovers who want warmth and sensuality rather than austerity, and for people who like coffee and vanilla but want smoke to keep it grown-up. The brand calls all its fragrances gender neutral. A hot office or a summer afternoon is a harder fit, so test it in the right season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Matière Première Encens Suave as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoke divides opinion: one person hears church, another hears comfort. The brand names the origin of every material, from Oman to Madagascar, so you know the story; your skin tells you whether you like it.

Resins and vanilla soften the smoke, though anyone who dislikes smoky scents altogether may still find it dark.
