The review

On paper, Encelade is a strong bet if you want Encelade for less.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Encelade's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 92% less than Encelade.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on rhubarb, turns to cedar, and settles into vetiver, sandalwood and Tonka Bean. That is the brief Encelade is working from.

Top

  • rhubarb

Heart

  • cedar

Base

  • vetiver
  • sandalwood
  • Tonka Bean
For the one who bridges fresh and dark, tart rhubarb over green vetiver and leather, a warm coumarin fougère of striking contrast.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 2 twins of Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade we can price, Encelade is number 2 on price per 100ml.
