Enclave

Enclave entered Amouage's catalog in 2020, composed by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. Offered as an eau de parfum, the creation exists in two sizes: a 100 ml bottle and a 3 ml format.

Top notes

Mint opens the accord on a mentholated freshness. Cardamom, a spice with fresh accents, extends this clarity, while cinnamon brings a bark note, woody and spicy, that warms the opening of the composition.

Heart notes

Patchouli gives the heart tier an earthy, damp matter, crossed with a camphorous brightness. Vetiver adds wood, smoke, and earth; rose, warm, evokes honey and wax. Olibanum combines wood, minerality, and spices, and pepper brings a spicy, slightly herbaceous dryness.

Base notes

Labdanum, a resinous gum drawn from cistus, diffuses an amber warmth with caramel nuances. Leather accompanies it with smoky, tarry, and tobacco-like facets, which anchor the composition in a deep register.

Aromatic and oriental

The aromatic family gathers compositions built on herbaceous, fresh plants: mint is here its clearest relay, with the herbaceous touch of pepper. The oriental facet owes to amber labdanum, olibanum, and warm spices such as cinnamon, a register of resins and sweetness.

Cinnamon and rose on the label

Cinnamal and cinnamic alcohol, components associated with the scent of cinnamon, are among the declared allergens, along with eugenol, which recalls clove. Citronellol and geraniol, constituents of rose essence, echo the rose of the heart tier. These are joined by limonene, linalool, citral, coumarin with hay-like accents, alpha-isomethyl ionone, and farnesol.
