Encens Jinhae

As the name suggests, the impression of incense is at the core of Encens Jinhae, but it's a delicate incense, clean and light, not heavy or dirty. The creamy balsam, sweet florals, and fresh spices waft in the air, weightless and unified. It’s an atmospheric fragrance—the smell of a place, not a person. In my imagination, this fragrance has always conjured up an image of a small outdoor market somewhere on the Mediterranean coast; the early-evening light so perfect it’s almost hallucinatory. Contrary to the public consensus, to me Encens Jinhae is a summer fragrance, through and through. It smells warm, natural, weightless, and sweet—like a perfect summer day, the heat leaving you relaxed and pleasantly sun-drunk by evening.

Dunno why but Encens Jinhae* (*One of ports in Korea, famous for cherry blossom festival ; also is the navy stationed here) smells milky and smoky to me. Rose and other spices are soft, i guess cherry blossom is very faint or it does not even exist. Maybe just naming or so.. But definitely a nice one to try on. Hope there be released more perfumes like this.

THIS IS ADDICTIVE , the smells it’s so peppery but a bit powdery and sharp because the rose !! Smells so french !!!

I've never smelled Cafe Rose so cannot compare, but I swear I smell vetiver in this. I like the elemi and incense aspect, the occasional whiff of a kind of plastic rose, pepper accord. I do not smell much patchouli in this, and no sandalwood really. There is absolutely no "cherry blossom" for me. On paper, this smells more like incense; on me, it skews, strangely "green-aquatic." When I see how others have grouped the notes, I think "Yeah, this is going to be like an Amouage or something." Nope. This is not basalmic on me really. The light lipstick rose quality arrives in the middle, not present initially in the top notes. I love unisex scents, and pretty much wear only unisex. I'm drawn to woods and incense, but this has a light transparency that reminds me of men's colognes only. Specifically, it wafts a clean quality that reminds me of the 90s and even some late 80s scents ubiquitous for men. So, even though I like it, I don't love it, and won't be buying a full bottle. Definitely try before you buy since more people are picking up incense than I am. I think this is totally office friendly, day-time, spring & summer scent, refreshing with moderate silage and very good (not great) longevity.

My fourth try from the Collection Orient by Atelier Cologne is Encens Jinhae. The eponymous incense note figures in strongly as expected, with spicy and floral notes. Very bold to start with sharp top notes of lemon and pink pepper dominating the first hour with the frankincense (olibanum), and then it dries down into a mix of incense and resin, mainly, a sweet and salty mix that's well-balanced for most of its life. Performance is very strong overall, on par with Tobacco Nuit, perhaps the strongest other Atelier Cologne offering that I've tried to this point. Certainly this is a scent mainly to be saved for colder months, and is probably better-suited for men, though some women might be inclined to try this one out. Overall, it's not the smoothest incense (i.e. Incense Oud By Kilian) or the craziest, or the sweetest, but it's an interesting blend and departure for the house. Still, at its pricing (the same as the other Collection Orient offerings, $250 for 100ml, $350 for 200ml), you would really have to love it to buy a bottle. 7 out of 10

اینسنس جینهایی شروع مرکباتی و سبزی و با طراوتی داره ولی در عرض چند ثانیه محو میشه . بعدش یکم شیرین میشه و بازم زود محو میشه . چند ثانیه بعدش هم رایحه تند و خاص فلفل صورتی رو حس خواهید کرد که به همراه بوی گل رز افسار عطر رو در دست میگیرند. بوی لیمو در لایه زیرین فلفل صورتی و رز قرار میگیره ولی قابل حس کردنه . دروغ چرا بوی رزش یکم حالت اماکن مذهبی خودمون رو داره ولی خوب شدتش کمه ولی دوست داشتنی... این عطر رایحه کلی نسبتا تند، تلخ و نسبتا ترشی داره ولی بعدش شیرین هم میشه و واقعا نمیشه گفت عطر به طور کلی شیرینه یا شوره و یا ترشه . یه تعادلی بین این سه حالت هست . رایحه معتدل و چهار فصلی رو هم براتون به همراه خواهد داشت ولی در روزهای گرم تابستانی استفاده کردنش مناسب نیست . در نهایت چیزی که رو پوستتون باقی خواهد ماند رایحه گل رز خیلی کم شیرین و ملایمه که در کنارش یه حالت خیلی ضعیف تند چوبی هم حس میشه ... در کل بوی خاصی نداره .... کیفیتش رو نمیدونم در چه حدیه ولی برای منی که از رز خوشم نمیاد 1 تومنم ارزش نداره ... پخش بوی متوسطی داره ولی ماندگاری از 10 ساعت روی پوستم گذشت رویال عطر رو فراموش نکنید ♥

Noticeable smoky incense in the opening, that will morph into a peppery rose supported by a sharp cypriol note. In the drydown, the pepper and cypriol note leave to leave the rose take a soapy facet and a hint of sweetness in the background (what AC sells as cherry blossom). This is very well crafted, but far from being unique since it reminds me of several other fragrances: AC Rose Anonyme, Cartier Declaration d’Un Soir but most of all De Nicolai Incense Oud with which it shares strong similarities, especially in the top and heart (even more than Rose Anonyme does). Unisex that leans (very slightly) feminine. The only downside is its modest performance. Still, should you not own any of the ones I listed above, this one could be a great acquisition given the very affordable prices currently on ebay and at discounters. A small love for me. Cold to mild days, 30+

softly warm, incense-y tea rose + bath & bodyworks cherry blossom accord. There's a cheap association with the rose and cherry blossom combo that i can't shake, unfortunately. The opening is really cool though: a mentholated incense + rose opening thats incredibly smooth. what keeps this from going truly cheap is the amazing incense, rose and sandalwood dry down. reminds me a lot of cafe rose in its smokey yet sweet rose facets, just a lot lighter--if anything, it's cafe rose diluted by 50% with cherry blossom in the mix A great release from atelier, solid longevity (6-ish hours, 12+ hours with just a sweet rose/sandalwood trace left on the skin), close to the skin. edit: the more i wear it, the nicer it gets. didn't get a lot of that b&bw cherry blossom, just this lightly fruity rose + incense.

I recently received seven Atelier fragrance samples. I'm not very familiar with this brand and am excited to try these and share my thoughts. Encens Jinhae is a balsamic and earthy rose with a little spice. I didn't detect any cherry blossom at all. The resins and patchouli notes are lovely and keep the rose soft and warm. A very enjoyable fragrance!

Usually I am not a fan of rose or balsamic perfumes in general. But this one bought me. It is very balanced and not annoying. The more you smell it, the nicer it gets. I could not smell cherry blossom, for me it's balsamic rose and sandalwood what stands out.

Very pretty rose fragrance, it opens a little harsh and spicy and quickly becomes a subtlety smoky incense and rose. Like others said it’s not a very dense or dark scent very light and airy and can be worn I think anybody anytime not minblowing but pleasant

On me, this is a strong combo of incense, nutmeg, smoke,and powder. It's pretty good.

First blast of sweetened smoky floral incense, teetering on the edge of melting plastic. The smokiness fades pretty quick and leaves behind sweet dark fruity bruised roses. I've learned I don't like elemi resin and here it starts to warm on my skin rather fast, giving a jarring dirty undertone to the roses. The opening was much better than the dry down. Feminine and best for mild weather. 6+ hours later: A faint sweet rose remains.

I normally hate rose frags and balsamic frags. That said, I think this incredibly balsamic rose is fantastic! I mostly smell rose, musk, balsamic notes, pink pepper. It's strong, a little soapy, a little sweet, a little foodie, and blended to perfection to feel cozy and snug. I definitely prefer this to the more popular Rose Anonyme. This is not nearly as cloying or straightforward. Compared to Atelier's other fragrances, this has incredible longevity and sillage. It stays on my skin all day. Once, 12 hours after applying, I took an hour-long bath and could still smell it on my skin. It also easily lasts on clothing for over a week. I once wore EJ, went about my day, and wore my winter coat to the store. Two weeks later, I put on my coat just to walk to the mailbox, and I immediately noticed EJ. Not only that, but I took my coat off and an hour later I had the thought, "am I wearing perfume today?" Smelled my wrist - EJ!! I did not apply it, it just transferred back onto my skin from my coat in a matter of minutes. So, great performance if you love the fragrance, and if this was your signature it would definitely be easy to maintain. Definitely one to sample!!

Wow! How wonderful to smell something that is different and original for a change! I have had a real love hate relationship with Atelier in the same way you can be so smitten with someone only to find they end up being totally vacuous, superficial and a crashing bore.... despite the initial passion!! And many times that has been my experience with many of their beautiful, well crafted and high quality fragrances. So exciting and wonderful and then.... nothing! So, here I try this lovely decant a dear perfume buddy scent me as part of a gift of decants for my birthday and I'm thrilled at first dab.... but I wait and wait for the Atelier let down and guess what? It didn't happen! I get wafts of fruity cherry blossom intermingled with delicate rosiness, then a burst of indistinguishable but gorgeous resins and sweet spices. These waves of loveliness are soft but so beautiful that I can't believe it! I can only imagine how stunning this would perform in the heat! Never say never and I'm saying yes to this incense laden cherry blossom festival in a bottle! Love is here to stay.

I don't mean to detract from what this is, or the Atelier name, but when I smelled this, it instantly reminded me of Armaf's Silver Mountain Water clone called Derby Clubhouse Blanche. For most, this is the sticky, musky rose accord that ruined that scent as a clone, however I really liked it in spite of its clash with the metallic fresh notes. I really love this! It's not an incense scent, but more so a scent that pays tribute to incense. A scent that would couple well with incense. I mostly get a musky rose and lemon, just like the current votes, but I don't get much pink pepper. I also get a strong cumin/coriander vibe. This is not a "clean" rose smell, but it is musky in a very floral way. It becomes moreso floral in the dry down, after some of the top notes have faded away, leaving the musky rose and sandalwood behind. Speaking of which, the dry down is DIVINE! It lasts quite a while on the pillow case if you go to bed with this one on.

I love the scent. The impression of cherry blossom is beautiful. It's light and delicate but I as a man I feel that I can still wear it because of the incense note that is present (and yet not listed here for some reason, even though it's in the name of the scent). The smoky delicate sweetness makes it work. However, although I love it, I do believe that it's an acquired scent (as is the case with all fragrances that contain incense or smoke notes). For me it's best worn in the autumn or winter SCENT: 8.5 out of 10 LONGEVITY: 5 out of 10 SILLAGE: 4 out of 10

This is heavenly. It's so hard to find a light smokiness that has recognizable incense but doesn't make you feel like the inside of a burning church. This is a most beautiful smoky rose with enough lemon to make it bright but there's nothing tart or sour. I don't get any cherry blossom but maybe it's there giving the faintest hint of airy sweetness. It's not a spicebomb. This fragrance is dry- there is nothing damp about these woods- which it makes it incredibly wearable for most temps yet incredibly interesting. Huge fan.

VERY similar to Tom Ford's Cafe Rose; although, not as long-lasting (which is the main downside of the Atelier line), and lacking in concentration. They both share rose, patchouli, incense, pepper, and sandalwood notes. Encens is a lighter version of Café Rose, not as rosy, but still highly enjoyable. So far, this is my favorite of the Atelier Cologne line. As Cafe Rose leans more feminine and lasts longer, I think I'd choose it over Encens.

This adorable fragrance has got balsamic and flowery scent. rose and Lemon and again Rose! You can wear it from Spring to Winter both day and night for any occasion. The projection and longevity of this unisex perfume are moderate.thx Atelier.

This is a softer, more floral take on incense. I notice that incense fragrances tend to use spicer notes such as cloves, but this uses peppers instead. It’s a floral and powdery incense fragrance and smells more feminine than masculine.

In brief, Declaration d'Un Soir by Cartier with a touch of Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle ( More precisely, it would be a touch of Miracle of the Rose by Prada ). I really like it. But does it worth the price? That's a question.

I would like my female companion to wear this scent. Especially during the spring months. Very lovely for a female.

Lovely and subtle elemi and rose combo. If you want an oriental rose that doesn't scream, this is the one.

A mixture of POAL's top and LFDB's Body.

Resinous incense with a pinch of pepper.
