Amouage Enclave EDP

Description

Amouage Enclave is a spicy-resinous amber fougère built around contrast. Perfumer Julien Rasquinet says he set out to capture the light of the sun setting over the fjords of Musandam, pairing the cool freshness of spearmint and cardamom against the heat of amber and labdanum. Launched in 2020 as part of Amouage's Renaissance Collection, it's a unisex composition for anyone who wants an amber that leans spicy and smoky rather than sweet.

Scent Character

• Smoky/Resinous: 27%
• Spicy: 27%
• Woody: 18%
• Floral: 9%
• Fresh: 9%
• Sweet: 9%

Translation: a smoldering spicy-resinous amber with a woody backbone. The "oud" percentage here reflects Amber Xtreme and labdanum resin rather than true agarwood, with only a hint of florals and mint-fresh top air keeping it from tipping heavy.

FAQ

Is Amouage Enclave a men's or women's fragrance?
Unisex. It was composed as part of Amouage's Renaissance Collection with no gendered marketing.

Does Enclave actually contain oud?
No true agarwood. The resinous depth comes from Amber Xtreme and labdanum, which read as smoky and "oud-like" without being oud.

How long does it last and how far does it project?
Expect 7–9 hours of wear with moderate-to-strong sillage that settles closer to the skin after the first hour or two.

What's the vibe?
Spicy, resinous, and warm with a cool mint-and-cardamom opening, closer to a modern amber fougère than a classic amber.
