Después de una salida espectacular de menta fresca y canela, Enclave pasa a ser un perfume levemente dulce y especiado con toques de incienso y olibano. Al rato se te queda grabado en la piel unas 8 horas tranquilamente. Riquísima!!!

Enclave is one of first creation from amouage with the newest CEO. This is strong dry mint with cardamon scent. Wry spicy and lovely, with this one – less mean more. Small application and huge projection. Enclave catches many compliments. Fantastic creation from Julien Rasquinet. My amouage no. 3. Very lovely. But remember – you need to like mint note in fragrances.

Smells very cozy with a lot of smooth cinnamon and a little bit of mint and a lot of other subtle spices. Perfect as a signature scent for colder days

Well blended creation, signature scent worthy! Very refreshing fragrance, opens with pepper burst, but quickly dries into amber spearmint.

A cool peppermint top leads to resinous amber and leather over a green, mineral base.

Fantastic mint fragrance. It’s a different mint compared to Beach Hut Man, but wonderful anyway. It has long duration and IMHO the perfect balance in sillage and projection (not a beast), so you can easily wear it in almost every ocassion (day-night, cold-hot weather, though shines with low temperatures). Very recommended
