Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade EDP 1 ml decant

Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade is a unisex eau de parfum with a distinct green-woody character, created as a contrasting and modern composition that combines the strength of nature with refined sensuality. In the official concept, the fragrance is described as a collision of shadows and light, freshness and warmth, creating a powerful and unforgettable impression. The name Encelade refers to Saturn's moon Enceladus, symbolizing hidden energy and inner power.

The composition opens with a bright green accord dominated by rhubarb.

Its juicy, slightly sour, and crisp note gives the fragrance unusual freshness and dynamism. From the very first seconds, Encelade sounds modern and bold, creating a sense of natural power and movement.

Heart of the composition

The heart reveals a rich woody vetiver accord, complemented by light leathery and spicy nuances. Vetiver gives the composition dryness and structure, forming a confident and masculine character. The contrast between the green freshness of rhubarb and the dense woody base creates depth and volume.

The base is built on accents of sandalwood, tonka beans, and musk.

These notes give the fragrance a warm, velvety texture and longevity. In the drydown, Encelade smells dry, deep, and expressive, leaving a modern, charismatic trail.

Encelade is a versatile fragrance suitable for both women and men.

However, due to its distinct woody-vetiver character, it is often perceived as stricter and more confident, particularly harmoniously unfolding on male skin. At the same time, on a woman, the fragrance sounds contrasting and striking, emphasizing independence and individuality.

According to user reviews, Encelade is described as an unusual, green, and woody fragrance with a prominent rhubarb note.

Many note its longevity, powerful sillage, and modern character, combining freshness and warm depth.
