Encens Suave by Matiere Premiere is a dark, warm incense with a sweet coffee pull underneath. Coffee opens it first, rich and slightly bitter, before incense and Madagascar vanilla settle in and round out the edges. Benzoin and labdanum sit at the base, resinous and faintly sweet, keeping the whole thing warm rather than austere. It's an eau de parfum, released in 2019 and worn by both men and women who like dense, resinous scents. Autumn and winter draw the most votes, worn mostly in the evening and at night. Most wearers vote its longevity long-lasting. The sillage vote leans strong. A 3ml decant is enough to spend a few evenings working out if it's yours.

The house
More from Matiere Premiere
Matiere Premiere is a Paris niche house, set up in 2019 by a perfumer from a Grasse perfume-making family, and its name, French for raw material, sums up the idea. Each perfume puts one ingredient in the spotlight and builds only what it needs around it. Parisian Musc is the clean, skin-close starting point, all soft musk. Encens Suave takes incense into warm, spiced territory, and Crystal Saffron makes saffron the centre of attention. Radical Rose is rose at full volume, warm and spiced. Fans of vanilla get Vanilla Powder and its richer Vanilla Powder Extrait. Across the range you also meet benzoin, labdanum, heliotrope, coconut and palo santo. Wearing one for a week tells you more than a quick spray on a card.
