Enclave Amouage 2020

Enclave begins with a real statement: mint and cardamom literally jump out at you - ice-cold, almost menthol-like, but not cheap and fresh, but sophisticated and well thought-out. This opening is like a clear head on a hot day, liberating and awake.

But then comes the turnaround. The fragrance goes deeper, becomes spicier, warmer, earthier. Vetiver brings a certain dryness, incense lays smoky over it, and the Amber Xtreme provides this intense, long-lasting warmth. Not a sweet oriental, but a modern interpretation: dark, mystical, almost meditative.

The contrast is amazing - this cool freshness that slowly fades into a warm, resinous finish. Enclave is not loud, but it is present. Not a run-of-the-mill fragrance, but a statement without being overbearing.

For me, it's not a fragrance for every day, but one for special moments. If you want to stand out... not through volume, but through character.
