Encelade Eau de Parfum 100 ml

eau de parfum

A new planet, a new universe. Designed by French sculptor Jean Boggio, the golden shell of this new fragrance is an invitation to discover a wonderland. Encelade, a fresh jungle on the edge of a volcano, is a powerful and captivating perfume. Its sensual and unique green and woody notes will seduce both men of character and women in search of sophistication.

Encelade (Enceladus) is a moon of Saturn discovered in 1789. A bluish celestial body covered with snow and fresh water, it is probably seismically active. Besides the fantastic thought that Encelade could one day be covered by a green jungle, the mythological figure embodies strength, rebellion and character, the moon represents freshness, sweetness and purity.

In mythology, Enkelados, son of Gaia (the earth) and Uranos (the sky), is brought down by Athena after giants tried to climb Mount Olympus to reach the gods. Legend has it that he was buried under the earth of Sicily and that he still breathes through the vapors and eruptions of the volcano Etna.

A play of light and shadow in a perfume that plays its paradoxes with joy. The main accord of rhubarb, cedarwood and vetiver expresses the scent of earth, sap and lush nature. Green and woody notes mingle with smoked and animalic leather on impact. Milky sandalwood and tonka bean add sensuality and longing to the skin. The pure seduction of a perfume that exerts a wild attraction.

Like the other perfumes of Marc-Antoine Barrois, Encelade was formulated by perfumer Quentin Bisch. Everything, including the packaging, is 100% made in France to reduce the environmental footprint of production.
