Encelade represents the shadow-light relationship within a perfume which plays its paradoxes with delight. The Main accord of rhubarb, cedar and vetiver express the smell of Earth, sap, lush nature. Green and woody notes which comes to mingle with the crash of smoked and animal leather. Milky sandalwood and tonka bean add sensuality and addiction to the skin.
Pure seduction of a perfume conveying a wild magnetism

Inspiration –
Encelade is a natural satellite of Saturn, discovered in 1789, another bluish-colored planet covered with snow, fresh water and probably a seismic activity. Beside oneiric thought that Encelade could be one day covered by a green jungle, the mythologic figure embodies power, rebellion and character, the satellite represents freshness, sweetness and purity.
In the mythology, Encelade, son of Gaia (the Earth) and Uranus (the Sky), is brought down by Athena after Giants attempt to climb Mount Olympus to reach the gods. Legend says he’s been buried under the lands of Sicily and that he still breath through the fumes and eruptions of Etna Volcano.
