Certain aspects of this new(ish) release from Amouage stood out to me. The instant appeal and association with classic, spicy, amber type perfumes is cumin, the sweaty spice adding loads of scratchy depth to this perfume which is a sweet, thick, resinous brew, generally. It's actually quite a modern approach to the Amouage incense perfume vibes, and I can smell woody ambers holding everything up, they're not badly blended or anything, far from it, in fact showing marginally more restraint than her contemporary Julien Rasquinet. That's what it feels like to me, a reflection of the last mini collection, and this one is Enclave's counterpart. I love the opening couple of hours that mixture of cumin and cardamom is so evocative and spiky, I actually love it, no more than Fate Man though, which is better I feel. Then it goes to slightly more mundane territory for me, a very sweet (at times, a kind of biscuity gourmand element), chunky, (but clunky) but very complex and tenacious but not irritating or anything. I like it....I'm just not mad about it. The opening makes it a big favourite out of the new ones, even though material is arguably 'better'/it's amber theme's feel more 'natural' and perhaps more true to Amouage? I hope people embrace this and love it because it feels like another authentic chapter in the Amouage story. I'm just not quite there myself in terms of a purchase, but that is true of many perfumes.
