Encian

About

Encian is the gentian note in perfumery, offering a cool, bitter‑green aroma with tonic-water/quinine facets, airy alpine florality, and a subtly earthy, rooty undertone that evokes crisp mountain meadows and clear springs. Used mainly in top and heart registers, it brings dry elegance and lift to colognes, fougères, and green florals, pairing well with citrus, aromatic herbs, iris, vetiver, and woods to temper sweetness and sharpen freshness.
