Why It's Escentual:

Master perfumers Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen created Encens Flamboyant to capture the bright, glowing heat of precious incense rising in vibrant wisps—elevating traditional resin into something luminous and modern.

Housed in the Maison's iconic unisex bottle, this sculpted silhouette reinterprets their classic design in a baroque version that catches and enhances the play of light. A tribute to Annick Goutal’s background as an antique dealer, Encens Flamboyant has an intoxicating, deeply comforting trail that comes into its own during crisp autumn and winter months, or whenever you want a hypnotic signature after dark.

The Best Way To Use It:

We also recommend the following perfume tips:

• Target areas where the blood vessels are closest to the skin, allowing the fragrance to emanate. Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows.
• Resist the urge to rub your wrists together after applying perfume. This can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
• Hold the perfume bottle about 6–8 inches away from your skin when spraying. This ensures a more even distribution of the fragrance.
• Keep your perfume in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. This helps maintain the integrity of the fragrance.
• If your perfume fades throughout the day, consider reapplying to pulse points or areas where your skin is warm.
