Marc-antoine barrois encelade eau de parfum

On first spray I was turned off by the rhubarb but I gave it time. After the first 10 minutes, it stays present throughout but is tempered gorgeously by the woodiness. No acrid tartness at all, just a smooth slightly fruitish green that partially evolves into a lush fecund wood. Aside from the rhubarb, I can’t pick out other individual notes, likely from both my lack of skill and the mastery of the blend. This is atmospheric and substantial at the same time, much like Ganymede. Ganymede is otherworldly; Encelade is firmly rooted in terrestrial bounties. Ganymede is ice cold; Encelade is tropical warmth. Both are breathtakingly gorgeous but for different reasons. Not blind buy safe, I can see this being a polarizing scent. I love it.

Longevity is forever, days on clothes (likely weeks if unwashed). Sillage is strong, any more than 2 sprays is too much unless you want a phantom trail wherever you go.

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.

I have encelade, I have ganymede. Both get me lots of compliments.

I love encelade more

One of the most unique perfumes i have ever smelled. You can actually feel something green burning.. there is a bitter sweetness from rhubarb and tonka. it cpmes a little masculine, but it's totally unisex. Creamy sandalwood is added towards the end. As someone who doesn't like green scented perfumes, it even impressed me.. :) Congratulations Quentin Bisch.

I was lucky enough to try it last week.

To me it's a lot like Irish Leather with a teeny bit of BR540 in it. (I got to try one spray and one spray only)
You can check my channel Smelly Cat on YT where it's done a little cameo in my last video.

One spray lasted me ALL DAY LONG and projected too.
