Enclave

Enclave by Amouage is a bold, complex fragrance that opens with a vibrant burst of spearmint, cardamom, and spicy pink pepper, creating a fresh and aromatic effect that feels nearly candy-like in its sweetness. This initial phase is prominent and long-lasting, evolving with a warm, resiny base dominated by amber, labdanum, and leather, accented with olibanum and hints of cinnamon and vetiver. While the mint lingers throughout, it gradually softens, allowing the spicy-amber drydown to emerge, which offers a rich, gourmand character reminiscent of a minty chocolate truffle. The fragrance is highly concentrated, with a long-lasting performance that exceeds 12 hours on skin and lingers significantly on fabric. Its projection is strong initially, dropping to a moderate, intimate sillage over time. The scent balances cold freshness with an earthy, deeply aromatic warmth, making it suitable for fall, winter, and early spring, though it may feel overpowering in hot summer conditions.
