What do reviewers say about Encens Asakusa and Bois d'Argent?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Encens Asakusa doesn't need to. Built for quiet rooms, contemplative walks, the kind of afternoon that asks nothing of you.Encens Asakusa
Bois d'Argent is restrained by design. The frankincense opening reads cool, almost clinical, before the myrrh and iris heart softens the picture. If you want a quiet statement, this delivers.Bois d'Argent
