The scent of the sun.
Enceladus is a satellite of Saturn, known for having an activity that is still difficult to explain today. It has geysers on the surface and recent observations have confirmed the presence of an ocean of liquid water under the surface. It is covered with a layer of bluish-white tones, characteristic of the snow that is estimated to be 100 meters thick, indicating that it has snowed for at least 100 million years.
Encelad is also the name of a giant in Greek mythology, defeated by Athena, during the war of the gods against the giants, and buried under the island of Sicily.
Encelade appears after Ganymede - a “star” of the great magnitude. So life is difficult and Encelade suffers the shadow projected by the Ganymede. My initial reaction to a sample was denial. I said to myself: if I already have Ganymede, which is a masterpiece, why buy Encelade? But when I made na Encelade full wear I was surprised and surrendered.
First I realized that we cannot compare both as they are really two different “worlds”. Ganymede is freshest, floral, and smoothest like a bright morning. Encelade is more earthy, opulent and sensual – best suited for late-day and night romantic encounters. They complement each other and do not compete with each other. Both take place and are part of the balance of our planetary system.
I also had a pleasant sensation because my olfactory memory detected a Vetiver with a vibe similar to another fragrance with Vetiver that brought back beautiful memories of my youth. I think it would be the original Carven's Vetiver because I don't think it resembles Guerlain's Vetiver as it had a tobacco note (which no longer exists in the current version). This touch probably has to do with the combination of Vetiver with Rhubarb and Cedar.
Some people compare it to the Declaration (Cartier), others find similarities with Journey Man (Amouage), others with Terra Essence, or TF F Fabulous or even Rasasi Shuhrah. So many hypotheses cancel each other out. A sign that it will only look like itself.
It opens with a slight acidity of a green apple on a velvety and vanillic background. The sandalwood side by side with the cedar project a solar atmosphere – almost musical – that makes people's heads turn (“compliments rained”).
A dense composition with above-average projection and longevity.
A must-have, lending us to the leather and wood aura of the great perfumes of the past and, at the same time, a fruity and sweet modernity.
It transmits to us a green and generous joy. A green leather, a green from woods.
A moss leather, a fruit leather, rhubarb, a bitter and sweet juice that awakens the senses. A golden leather that must smell like the sun. A sun that is the antithesis of the snow on the planet Encelade. A sun that shines at night and smells like kisses on skin.
