Encelade is one of Marc-Antoine Barrois’ most striking creations — a fragrance that feels alive. Inspired by the mythology of the giant Enceladus and the raw power of nature, this scent blends lush green brightness, creamy sandalwood, and smoky resinous warmth into a composition that feels both wild and tailored.

It’s a masterpiece of contrasts —
fresh yet deep, bright yet shadowed, raw yet impeccably refined.

Opening:

Encelade bursts open with an exhilarating splash of rhubarb and green vegetal notes.

The first impression is:

• crisp

• wet-green

• energizing

• freshly sliced and juicy

There’s an almost glowing acidity from the rhubarb, balanced by a subtle milky sweetness just beneath the surface.

This opening feels like standing at the edge of a lush jungle at sunrise — cool, alive, and full of movement.

Heart:

As the initial green brightness softens, the heart reveals a smooth, addictive blend of:

• creamy sandalwood

• cedarwood

• smoky vetiver

• resinous, slightly leathery accents

This stage is where Encelade shows its sophistication.
The woods wrap the bright opening in warmth, creating a soft, creamy contrast against the rhubarb’s tang.

It is rich, textured, and beautifully balanced — like sunlight filtering through dense foliage onto polished wood.

Dry Down:

The dry down becomes deeper, warmer, and incredibly addictive. Expect:

• smoky-sweet resins

• musky woods

• a lingering creamy sandalwood glow

• a green shadow that remains to the very end

The interplay of green brightness and warm woods is what makes Encelade unforgettable.
The scent melts into skin like warm light, leaving behind a modern, sensual, woody trail.

This is the part people fall in love with —
freshness without citrus, sweetness without sugar, warmth without heaviness.

Performance:

Encelade delivers exceptional niche performance:

• 8–12 hours longevity

• A radiant, green-woody aura

• Gorgeous projection in the first 2–3 hours

• A creamy, seductive skin scent in the late dry down

It shines in all seasons, especially spring, summer nights, and fall.

Vibe Check:

• Perfectly unisex

• Ideal for those who love green, creamy, slightly smoky woods

• A signature scent for creatives, minimalists, and anyone who wants something modern and unforgettable

• Great for daytime elegance or nighttime intrigue

• Perfect for fans of Ganymede, B683, and other sophisticated, textured compositions

Encelade smells like nature elevated to couture.

Final Word:

Encelade by Marc-Antoine Barrois is one of niche perfumery’s most original modern creations — a brilliant fusion of green brightness and woody warmth. It’s fresh without being conventional, sensual without being sweet, and artistic without being challenging.
