Excellent review!!! I just bought this fragrance after having noticed how good and beautiful it was. It is like a beautiful but not flasy girl you never looked at, but you realize her beauty is just reassuring and comforting. A truly beautiful scent.
Really enjoyed this when I tried it. incense might be my new obsession. The description of its behaviour seems a Guerlain habit as Lui is like that, in fact, i was told the other day i had a 'smokey essence' 😂😂 That was Lui
I love the idea of a deceptive perfume that gets stronger over time and I'm intrigued by natural ambergris notes at the moment. Will be ordering a sample of this! Thanks for the review.
Very nice perfume. I had to buy a bottle. It’s very unique. I can’t even describe it. I get woods first but then as I smell it more, it changes. This is really a masterpiece.
This stuff is down right gorgeous. EM does the exact same thing with me, it seems to get stronger and ever more present and last allllllll day easy. Thanks for your thoughts 🙏
Great review Pep :) I've had a bottle of this for a while now but in the older bottle when it was called Encens Mythique d"Orient. This one does contain real Ambergris & I find it a little animalic as it dries down. The rose & aldehydic opening is beautiful & the incense eventually shows up but is quite subtle & more in the background I find. This one wasn't love at first sniff & took me quite a few wearings until I started to enjoy it, I think its a perfume that I need to find the perfect time to wear it so it can shine & I can get the most enjoyment out of it.
@@TheScentinel Eugene did a comparison on the pair a while back - th-cam.com/video/5iGx8dVrA90/w-d-xo.html and seems to think there's little difference 🤷♂️
hello i have this collection too...encens mythique is deep sweet like encens clean composition like a bouda temple...very soothing sensation. the perfume outfit is great 10/12h. i love it
Wow! The way you describe this fragrance.. I could almost smell it.. I love it when a fragrance takes me on a journey... at times when Ill be wearing a fragrance and forget that Im wearing a fragrance and all of a sudden through out the day Im smelling something really pleasent and then wonder were its coming from.. and then realise that its the fragrance that Im wearing.. lol🤔😁🤗🤗
If I even touch the bottle I can smell it off me, I agree with your description, took me a while to figure out I really liked it because of its deceptive performance
I loose this on myself BUT everyone around ne always compliments me on how good I smell. I think its mysterious and beautiful. It leans feminine but then again its perfect for men.
Hi Elisabeth. As it happens, the sample I reviewed was from the older bottle, but i used the newer picture. A couple of people had indicated to me that there wasn't much difference if any, but clearly there must be for some.
Stupid question: Is this the same thing as Encens Mythique D'Orient? Edit: Also, what did you do to poor Stretch Armstrong? He's naked, on his stomach.
Yes the same and Encens Mythique is strangely more pungent than EM D`Orient. Had them both and sold EM as I prefer less power from this most unique perfume.
Unique melancholic somehow organic. Difficult to describe, difficult to wear. It is like Alan Wilder a musical genius understood by a few. For collectors only.
Sorry bro.. Honestly I found defficult to describe it,, I have it and its my first one in my collection.. I didn't smell something like it,, I'm in love with it👌💞
I'm pretty sure they made the scents then stuck the corresponding names in to a hat and assigned them at random. To me, this smells like the colour of the bottle. Perfect for rain
I'm absolutely in LOVE with this perfume... I'd almost call it a masterpiece by Thierry Wasser...❤
More masciline or feminine?
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed 🌙
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one was just going to pick it up
As usual, amazing analysis Pep. Have not tried it, but being a rose lover i will put it in my testing list. Regards from Mexico my friend.
One of my favourite!!
Great review . I find it incredibly unique & very enjoyable to wear . Cheers !
Thank you
Excellent review!!!

A truly beautiful scent.
Your description of the opening airy feel that feels like it's not there and then it's lingering... Spot on with the description 👍

Good review pep very good. Love guerlain it's best house.
I think "sheer" is spot on. Recieved a pretty interesting comment on it myself, namely "that sanitizer smells nice." 😂 Oh the times we live in...
Wow!
Terrific review. I’ve not smelled this but you’ve certainly piqued my curiosity.
Nice review as always Pep. This sounds wonderful and I’ll definitely look to sample it soon! 👌🔥

I admit i liked it immediately but i didn't really know what to make of it at first. I wonder if the scent changed from the old bottle.

This one is like that

May i ask about its longevity and projection
I can smell it on me all day, and i'd say it's projection is arms length
@@TheScentinel
Thanks a lot
Appreciate ✌️

This sounds right up my alley!
Which one are u reviewing? The cheap reformulated one in the black bottle or the one in the clear glass rectangular bottle? They are VERY different

Yes it's supposed to be the same thing, repackaged. Stretch is resting

@@TheScentinel I heard the ambergris is stronger in the old one, but I only have the new version so idk
@@horatio737 still very nice

testing this right now, literally love at first sniff, airy peachy flower builds into ambergris, thanks for recommending it.
Excellent!

It has that feel doesn't it?
@@TheScentinel certainly has that "gris" feeling.
