Encense Liquide Memoire Liquide for women

Yum! This goes on sweet, ambery, and woody, with loads of vanilla and even a little incense. However, as the blurbs say, it’s more of a cedar wood incense than the typical olibanum incense. Whatever it is, it’s a lovely, almost gourmand, combination. It’s strong, it has lots of sillage, and it’s persistent, retaining the ambery vanilla character for 4 hours or so and then gradually transforming into an excellent white musk scent. I thoroughly enjoy wearing this.

Sweetened, dry wood infused incense is what Encense Liquide smelt like in the first several minutes after application.

Later on, it goes linear with a more distinguished dry vanilla hint which pushes the incense part to shine. It’s so well balanced, sensual, dry sweet, yet not pushy (as some more serious incense niche perfumes I find a bit too strong and the incense is too solid to be inhaled) or too much vanilla-y-induced-foody. Somehow, I find this one deserves the name of Amour Liquide more than the actual Amour Liquide from Memoire Liquide.

Nice scent for slightly cooler weather!

I happened to be smelling Encense Liquide alongside Le Labo's Labdanum 18 the other day, and I noted some strong similarities between them.

Labdanum 18, for those that don't know the fragrance, is a rather strong, yet feminine incense and woods scent. Encense Liquide is in some ways the same, except it's much lighter, more generic and sweeter.

Both fragrances are pleasing, especially from my incense-loving perspective. Encense Liquide is smooth, quite ethereal and pretty. Like I have mentioned in other reviews, I find Memoire Liquide a rather friendly niche house, producing scents suitable for a younger crowd.

In my opinion, this is incense for beginners. I'm already too far gone into the incense category, so I find Encense Liquide far too weak for my tastes. However, it's a lovely fragrance for those who want only a subtle hint of smokiness. It's a very delicate ambery incense on my skin.

This fragrance lasts extremely well, a lot longer than I had expected. It has a real expensive feel to it, almost luscious in a way. Encense Liquide strikes me as being very girly and sweet. It's somehow caught between being an innocent girl and a confident woman.

Definitely my favorite in the line. It's not pungent and strong like Avignon, Cardinal or dark/musty like Messe de Minuit. This is a very gentle incense that is masterfully blended with amber and resins. It's a bit similar to Passage de Enfer but a bit sweeter. Though it's subtle, people around you will definitely notice and this scent lasts very long that you don't need to re-apply in the afternoon. Although it's marketed to women, guys can easily pull this off as well.
