The nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch.  \u003c\/span\u003eInspired by a Greek mythological story, Encelade, son of Gaia (the Earth) and Uranus (the Sky), is brought down by Athena after Giants attempt to climb Mount Olympus to reach the gods. Legend says he's been buried under the lands of Sicily and he still breathes through the fumes and eruptions of the Etna Volcano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eWoody, green, and leathery notes act as a shadow\/light relationship, delightfully playing on paradoxes from start to finish. The main accord of rhubarb, cedar and vetiver expresses the smell of Earth: sap and lush nature. Meanwhile, these green and woody notes mingle with a clash of smoked animal leather. Milky sandalwood and creamy tonka bean add depth and sensuality to the skin, finishing a dance of pure seduction and wild magnetism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"form-group\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productheader\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eRhubarb, Vetiver, Atlas Cedar, Tonka Bean, Australian Sandalwood\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productheader\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productheader\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productheader\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEWS OF MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS ENCELADE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productheader\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e Either love it or hate it, for me it's love at first sniff. Can't wait to receive a full bottle. I adore it. Green, deep, unique, a little bit sweet, woody and mysterious. Very well blended and balanced. Another masterpiece by Quentin Bisch\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eOne of my favourite perfumes \u0026lt;3 to me it's very unisex and brings so many emotions to mind. There's the initial sharp, metallic, almost edging on industrial note which grabs your attention. But on my skin its not overly aggressive, there's a softness underneath the edge. I get a distinct, almost gasoline smell at first? But I don't mind it. Then as it dries down the vanilla and rhubarb come out. It's never sweet on me, the vanilla softens the scent and the rhubarb keeps it tangy, but its still metallic and earthy. It's very unique and definitely not for everyone.  For me it's, metallic, earthy, crisp with the rhubarb, and soft and almost creamy with the sandalwood and vanilla. I wear it when I want to feel androgynous, confident, or just nostalgic. I also love layering it with a vanilla or fruity scent. I know my memory association with this scent skews how much I love it. I can totally understand how off-putting this perfume could be for some people. But it's got a special place in my heart, and I love her :)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e This is what I want from my perfume - I spray it in the morning - 12hours later I can still feel it. And not just me but others as well. Great complexity, amazing longevity and solid sillage (but not aggressive). If you are only into white florals of course it’s not for you but it’s definitely unisex I would say. Don’t see what is aggressive about this scent, maybe those noses are just too sensitive, it is a truly unique and elegant. takes a special person to wear it\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eFirst sniff from it , when I was unaware of the notes, my reaction was - \"oh, tons of wood\".  I don`t see it as unisex. IMO, it is a straight vetiver\/sandalwood masculine scent with sweet touches, just to add balance.  Staying power is extreme, projection is loud for the first 5h.\u003cbr\u003eMAB is getting more and more love from me\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eI finally decided to buy it, it might not be a perfume that everyone can choice and that's the best part about it. loved the complexity the weirdness that can get you in a different state of mind. its a masterpiece and a good one to start Fall with.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eDamn good god damn! I just got a sample of this and wow am I impressed! I love some of the visuals below, like jungle and animatronics burning hah, or volcano in the jungle vibes... I just love how accessible this fragrance is, despite how weird it can be if you really focus on the facets of it. Honestly, this could have been the basis of a popular 80s Macy's counter fragrance. So happy with this one, putting it on my wishlist!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica \u003c\/strong\u003e- It doesn't have any alcohol notes but feels narcotic to me, whereby I can't stop smelling myself througout the day and each whiff takes me to heaven. It was certainly love at first sniff and I knew that moment that I just have to buy a full bottle...The rhubarb gives these majestic woods a perfect twist, never thought it could smell this beautiful....I was looking for a sophisticated and unique scent I can wear pretty much all year round and I'm so greatful to say that I found it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e I loved it instantly, all shades of it from initial spray till the drydown, can definitely feel volcanic soil vibes. To me it has nothing in common with Ganydeme, which was my first discovery from MAB. Both are beautiful to my taste. Ganymede is unique for sure!\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e Incredibly powerful scent by any standards. This will out-project any other person’s perfume in any given situation. The good news is that it’s a stunning formulation comprising the most juicy top end I’ve ever encountered. Think Baccarat Rouge and its burnt strawberry accord: this blows it away. Very niche, not everyone will like it. Personally, I love it, as I do all M-AB scents.  Edit: the strength and longevity are insane! Will never need an extrait version…. So bloody good value since a bottle will last a lifetime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e I laughed out loud when I smelled this for the first time........ Encelade is a SENSATIONAL fragrance!!  Luminous, bright green and mouthwateringly juicy, brimming with tart fruitiness from rhubarb and that characteristic mineral bitterness from vetiver. Three dimensional, deep and with such originality....it resembles nothing else!!  Encelade smells natural and weird at the same time, like natural but from another planet. To call this a powerhouse is an understatement. It's sillage is very assertive (think Joop! or Kouros) and you won't have to reapply for days......FOR DAYS!!!!  I usually don't wear big and bold fragrances, but this was love at first sniff and I bought a bottle on the spot. I haven't felt such a strong and positive reaction to a perfume in a very long time......Bravo Quentin\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eBische !\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marc-Antoine Barrois","offers":[{"title":"1 ML - Sample Vial","offer_id":44767852495009,"sku":"MABENCELADE-1","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Spray i a 2 ML Atomizer","offer_id":46445768409249,"sku":"MABENCELADE-1S","price":6.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML Glass Spray","offer_id":45306722320545,"sku":"MABENCELADE-2","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767852462241,"sku":"MABENCELADE-3","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767852560545,"sku":"MABENCELADE-5S","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Roll On","offer_id":44767852429473,"sku":"MABENCELADE-5R","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767852396705,"sku":"MABENCELADE-8","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767852527777,"sku":"MABENCELADE-15","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/MABencelade.jpg?v=1734399363","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/mabencelade","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
