"THIS IS NOT A PERFUME, IT IS A CONCENTRATE OF EMOTION."
MAISON INCENS draws inspiration from the power of memories and the collective imagination. Its fragrances explore bold dimensions, creating an intimate interaction with the skin. They unfold slowly, revealing their complexity over time, inviting you on a sensory journey off the beaten path, practicing an Art of Emotional Distillation.
Each collection is crafted to capture an atmosphere, a sensation, a suspended moment; each bottle is an invitation to experience the world differently. Carefully selected raw materials bring to life powerful, evocative trails, designed to leave a lasting olfactory impression.
Initially in 2013, there was a perfume house established in France and founded by Philippe Constantin. From the very beginning, all the fragrances it offers have been crafted with an emphasis on artisanal expertise, originality, and quality.
A few years later, he decided to create MAISON INCENS in honor of his father and the manuscript he bequeathed to his son: a compilation of leather paintings and scented stories. Philippe's creations are the olfactory signature of his father's book.
The collections he creates are inspired by an unknown civilization called ARTGANIS, whose communication codes are based on perfumes and a life governed by scents.
Philippe Constantin was born in Cameroon to a French father and a Moroccan mother. He grew up in Casablanca and decided to move to France at the age of 18 to study economics and international law. He wanted to join an international organization to help people in need, but one encounter changed his destiny. The day Philippe met perfumer Jean Claude Gigodot marked a complete turning point in his life and career. His passion for perfumes was born.
"There are places one visits only with the soul. Maison Incens is one of those secret realms, where each fragrance breathes the mists of dawn, the glimmers of a forgotten memory, or the whispers of a nocturnal journey. The house’s fragrances unfold like poems whispered in the ear. They settle on the skin like a breath of mystery, a promise of olfactory escape. Maison Incens transcends notes to evoke the very texture of emotion: an amber caress, a spicy shiver, a veil of resin. Enter this world, let yourself be guided by the intoxication of woody accords, precious balms, rare incenses, and sensations close to the skin."
