Encelade by Marc-Antoine Borrois treats the wearer with a well balanced leather perfume. With shades of green and woody notes, the salty mineral facets add up to a mix of sensuality and sensitivity. Vetiver, rhubarb and cedar wood create a lush nature, full of earthiness. The leather in Encelade is of a smokey and animalic kind and mingles with milky sandalwood and tonkabean.
In mythology, Encelade, son of Gaia (the earth) and Uranus (the sky) is brought down by Athena after the giants try to climb Mount Olympus to reach the gods. According to legend, he is buried under Sicily and still breathes through the vapors and eruptions of Mount Etna volcano. Marc Antoine himself describes Encelade as an imaginary universe, a lush jungle on the side of a volcano!

More than ten years ago, Marc-Antoine Barrois started with an haute couture fashion brand, where eye for detail, timeless elegance, and charisma are most important. But what is haute couture without haute parfumerie? To translate this special brand to a perfume Marc-Antoine found the olfactory talent of another young designer. While Marc-Antoine evokes the intangible, emotions and his imagination, Quentin brings them to life with precision and talent in perfume. Together, they bring something exceptional into the lives of their customers, by designing unique and timeless perfumes. From the iconic Ganymede to B683 and a very special new fragrance launching April 1st.
