En Prise is a woody, citrus, earthy scent created for Men and Women in 2023 by perfumer Christelle Laprade.
Review
This scent is immediately refreshing and crisp. Vetiver sits at the heart, with Ginger shining bright throughout the composition. Saffron adds a hint of spice and Cassis a hint of sweet. It is an invigorating scent that makes you crave the exciting moments in life. It is as appropriate for the office as it is for any and all casual occasions. It will work well in all seasons and will last on the skin. It is comparable to Tiziana Terenzi Kirke with a much warmer vibe.
Inspiration
En Prise is a French expression that describes a chess piece that is under attack and not properly defended.
