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!

Think of the smell of a leather jacket, a pair of suede shoes, the inside of a leather bag, or an old Chesterfield… Leather gives a luxurious, seductive and elegant touch to the fragrance. But it is also dark, robust and slightly animalic which makes this smell mysteriously tantalizing.
