Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade 100ml EDP
New planet, new universe. This new fragrance’s golden sleeve, designed by French sculptor Jean Boggio, is an invitation to discover a wonderland. Fresh jungle on the side of a volcano, ENCELADE is a powerful and captivating perfume. Sensual and unique, its green and woody notes will seduce as well men of character as women in search of refinement.
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.
