Vierge À L'Encens

For me "An Encens Sauvage" I don't like incense so much. But I would wear this one because It's not a cathedral incense for me and it has a completely different concept inside. It seems an incense coming back from liturgy to nature and it's a very rare composition to find, sure far from the canonic incense fragrances you can find in perfumery (with a great dose of courage within and this is what niche perfumery truly needs nowadays). the ultimate cathartic perfume without doubt. A note about the maison: I visited every french fragrance site here on fragrantica's designer country section(1007 sites by now). A lot of them doesn't have discovery set so I wrote them one by one. Usually the answer was "we don't have" or "no answer". Via François was the only one to answer "No worry I will prepare and send to you". That's it

This was the ONLY perfume I purchased on my trip to Paris, 2025. The perfumer, Francois, was having a pop up in the Marais. He was standing outside, invited two very jet lagged ladies to snif. We said we had many more perfumes to smell before we could make a decision. We left with samples of our favorites. After smelling a lot of perfumes, we both returned. My friend bought Le Parfum. I bought this—a cool petrichor that balances patchouli and incense, and feels complex and earthy. My husband mostly wears it but I do too. We also like to spray it next to a favorite chocolate perfume. Is that weird?
