Encens Asakusa

Tokyo, a holy temple in Asakusa. A winter prayer answered by the serene notes of a koto. Encens Asakusa is a mystical incense, bewitching, powdery and woody, far from the tumult of the city.

The Signature of Encens Asakusa
Olibanum and pink pepper open bright and smoky with fresh cypress. Iris and violet give a powdery softness, before myrrh and white musk let the incense glow on calmly and meditatively.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us, Encens Asakusa captures exactly what makes niche perfumery special: a mystical, powdery scent with a clear signature. On the skin we notice how olibanum and pink pepper set the tone in the first hour, after which cypress and iris slowly come forward. After several hours mainly violet and myrrh remain, close to the skin and ever more personal. We like to wear it best in autumn and winter, on cool evenings and at dinner. A scent for lovers of serene incense with powdery iris.
