Encelade is without a doubt the best release from Marc Antoine Barrois in my opinion, and one of the most addictive fragrances I’ve ever smelled. To put it simply this is a rhubarb and vetiver based fragrance - the sweet, sharp, tangy and juicy nature of the rhubarb pairs beautifully with the green and earthy vetiver to create something truly unique. There’s a hint of sweet woods and tonka bean in the base which intensifies the masculinity in here. I also seem to notice very subtly, the iconic metallic violet leaf base used in Ganymede and B683. This solidifies it as a MAB creation and ties it in beautifully to the rest of the line. Rhubarb is such an underused note in perfumery and it’s been executed perfectly here. The projection and longevity is incredible as usual from this house, it’s such a unique scent profile and will have you smelling yourself constantly. I truly believe this is a masterpiece.
A fresh-aromatic spicy woody leathery masterpiece. A scent that is difficult to describe, it starts as a tart fresh rhubarb mixed with woods, drying down into a leathery woody base that stills holds its freshness. It’s Quinten Bish’s masterpiece. It can go on anytime of year and will hold its magic. It’s stays forever and will make your presence linger long after you left the room, but without being irritating or anoying. It combines Quinten Bish’s masterfull blends of spice, freshness and slightly dark woods to perfection.
