This fragrance is one of two orientals in the range, created by Camille Goutal and quite unlike the other fragrances. Fascinated by the Orient and its mysteries, the perfumer, Isabelle Doyen wanted to return to the very origin of scents - Frankincense - which has been used for over 7,000 years as a perfume. The result is that Encens Flamboyant is an intense and mystical composition that captures a true blend of Frankincense.
This is a fragrance going back to the very source of scents; a journey back to a time when incense coals were heated and burned to fragrance clothes via fumigation, and as far ago as the Queen of Sheba, when the bark of desert region trees in the Land of Punt were stripped each year to extract droplets of resin. The frankincense captured by Isabelle Doyen in this fragrance has three facet's: ethereal and mineral; warm and balmy; burnt woody. Quite unlike other heavy Frankincenses on the market, this scent is light and radiant.
Ingredient note:
Fir Balsam is the most cold-hardy and aromatic of all firs. It gives a soft and woody scent to a fragrance: full-flavoured and addictive; a balsamic odour
