Encens Mythique

Guerlain stages the orient with its fragrance Encens Mythique. The house of Guerlain has seen five generations of perfumers succeed one another at its helm. While each has been able to move the history of perfumery forward in keeping with their own creativity, they all share the ability to send our imagination traveling to the other end of the world.

Where to buy

The Guerlains have always been fascinated by travel, as evidenced by one of their greatest creations: the emblematic Shalimar, a fragrance with Indian inspiration. As if to pay tribute to this passion passed down decade after decade, Guerlain chose to create the Collection Absolu d'Orient. Today, this collection is enriched with a new fragrance named Encens Mythique.

Encens Mythique, an enigmatic and intense juice

Encens Mythique comes in a bottle faithful to the entire Collection Absolu d'Orient by Guerlain. It is presented in a luxurious cylindrical container, entirely lacquered in black. In fact, its shape is directly inspired by that of Guerlain's iconic bee bottle. Its neck is tied with a ribbon that further heightens the precious character of the elixir it holds. Encens Mythique by Guerlain is adorned with a label featuring golden arabesques. Infinitely baroque, it draws its design from the Poudre C'est Moi created by Guerlain in the late 1920s.

In terms of scent, Encens Mythique is an infinitely powerful juice. As its name suggests, incense occupies a central place in its composition. This oriental creation by Thierry Wasser burns with desire and unfolds with untamable fervor. Its incense is here blended with a more elegant and subtle rose. Ambergris, for its part, brings exceptional softness and depth to the whole. This raw material, among the most luxurious in perfumery, gives this juice its full intensity. At once iodic, marine, warm and animalic, it further reinforces the complexity of this fragrance. Encens Mythique is a unisex fragrance intended for both men and women.

The Collection Absolu d'Orient, an ode to travel

Encens Mythique is a fragrance joining an already cult collection from the house of Guerlain. The Collection Absolu d'Orient was designed to pay tribute to Guerlain's history as well as to the eastern part of the globe. Guerlain's perfumers have always seen it as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Indeed, between spices, noble woods, juicy fruits and sun-kissed flowers, all the elements are gathered to bring forth the most beautiful scents of our planet. The Collection Absolu d'Orient by Guerlain thus chooses to highlight these elements. Each of its fragrances is built around a major raw material from the Orient, and elevates it through the addition of other ingredients, placed in the background to create more harmony and sensation. Encens Mythique now joins the previous Santal Royal, Oud Essentiel and Musc Noble. It brings a new breath of escape to the heart of your winter!
