The review
Captivating Nature scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Encelade.
The Dua Brand 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.
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 The Dua Brand 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
Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade is rhubarb at first, cedar at its heart and vetiver, sandalwood and Tonka Bean at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
