UNDERSTATED BEAUTY - ENCLAVE by AMOUAGE, THE LOVE AFFAIR CONTINUES

[@eKi48]

Interesting that you gave its sillage a light-moderate; on my skin, it's the most projecting scent I have ever worn. It's INSANE. 3m? Easily done. This thing is an absolute beast in my books.

[@Nicro328]

Absolutely. Applied it early in the morning, say 5:45 AM, and a co-worker complimented me on it from her cubicle about 8 ft away at 1 PM. Insane longevity and strength

[@mqaciejek]

That mint is photorealistic

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Totally agree💚 and works perfectly in this fragrance. Awesome to hear from you @mqaciejek

[@patriklundsholm514]

Insane preformance, and Its crazy how underated this is, the spearmint is realy a love or hate note

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yep, I've come to note that a lot of people get hung up on that spearmint in the opening (which is what I love about the fragrance). And yes, awesome performance from this fragrance (which is typical with all the Amouage's) Thanks for reaching out Patrik👊🏼 great to hear from you

[@patriklundsholm514]

Thanks 😁 but Whoo hold your horses... Not all amouages... Like Jubilation, and Dia man.. They made me so sad, but amouage is still my fav house thanks to Journey, interlude Black iris, Bracken and figment man

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

@@patriklundsholm514 Yes, it's true I was painting with a very big brush on that last statement😂 Dia Man I agree. But Jubilation is awesome for me; projects and performs really well. The only one that I don't have in the collection is Figment (haven't even tested this one yet)....will put this on my radar Thanks Patrik

[@gregspauldini3139]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Really? Dia man is so beautiful. Somewhat unique for me with the plum and vetiver. Definitely doesn't project much but so smooth and very wearable.

[@jordanmessner999]

Enclave's sillage is much greater than Meander's. Enclave is my favorite Amouage, followed by Interlude Black Iris.

Saffiano Leather is distinguishable by it's cross hatch texture which is commonly used by Prada for their signature black accessories.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

And in fact Prada have created their signature 'leather' scent for their leather goods (called Saffiano)....which Amouage have used in the case of Enclave....I love learning about this sort of stuff🤩

[@nathand.384]

Love your enthusiasm mate. Got my nose on this a couple of days ago and I need a full bottle! Could even use this during summer because of the freshness from the spearmint oil. Understated sophistication. Julien Rasquinet has done it again 🔥

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Nathan, so happy that you enjoyed this episode💫 And yes, for me this is an easy all year round fragrance...although on the cooler months...pure magic🥰 Thanks for reaching out; wonderful to hear from you

[@mikealls8938]

Absolutely love this . Just got my second sample and even though it's cold here in the UK,it takes me back to summer when I first smelled it. It's very deep, and changes so much on my skin. I'm sure people won't like it, but I don't care I have explorer for compliments! 😉

[@UNKTXJIM]

I liked it...yes, a fresher and brighter Enigma...great scent and quality

[@perfumeryjournal95]

I like this scent and it does smell like a fresher version of Enigma parfume cologne with more brightness and mint. I agree with Filip, if i had a small collection id buy a bottle but at 80+ i wouldnt get it as it doesnt blow me away. Nonetheless a great release from Amouage and id recommend sampling it as it could easily be a love for a lot of people

[@TheBenjamindoughty]

Never made the connection with enigma before. You’re right :)

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thanks @Val I’m going to have test Enigma again

[@xNickTheBrickx]

I was originally prejudiced against this one because I didn't like the idea of heavy mint with heavy amber. Boy was I wrong. It's like my Aventus for cool weather now. Many of my favorite spices with a refreshing mint, warm wonderful base notes, and the amber extreme better for winter than ambroxan. This was the biggest sleeper hit for me ever, having sampled it like 8 months ago and only buying a bottle now!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I always love it when a fragrance surprises me against all odds when I look at the notes (in a way judging a book by the cover)… then how sweet it is to be pleasantly surprised Good to hear that this fragrance has weaved its magical new♥️

[@farrow913]

I agree with you. Enclave among Purpose are my personal favourites from Amouage.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to hear from you and YES! Purpose is incredible♥️ Thanks for jumping into the conversation @farrow913

[@kimmooravasaari2947]

Hey Marcelo, I had to come back to these videos. Sampling the Amouage's I'm missing. I also do prefer the Enclave over the Meander.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

It's funny but something must be happening out there with 'Enclave' as I've had spike in views on this episodes along with comments. I would have to agree with you Kimmo, I do love wearing Enclave; works perfect as an all year round fragrance💚 Great to hear from you mate👊🏽

[@steelersOducks]

Oh ya I added Fragrance du Bois New York Intense and Xerjoff Erba Pura to the collection beautiful scents in their own right👌👌👌

[@b1bo840]

actually amouage is $340 in the u.s.and the extrait flankers are $480. btw i bought meander and enclave just for the beautiful bottles, not really knowing if i’d enjoy them on my skin or not 😂 (fortunately i do). i’m gonna pick up journey man next for the same reason and hope i like the scent as a bonus.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thanks for confirming those prices @B1 BO👊🏽 I’m impressed that you blind bought just for the look of the bottle😳 (and about to buy another one) clearly you have a lazy $1K 😎 If you’re interested in Journey man, I did a review on it a short time ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmeXi3iJfLBqo6c Not sure if you’ve had a chance to smell epic man. This is one of my all-time favorites within the Amouage collection: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6rGgqWlbc59p9E Thanks for reaching out, great to hear from you @B1 BO👊🏽

[@aby3773]

Just got it. It was a blind buy as I found it for an amazing price. It is a heavy, oriental and long lasting perfume. It opens with that minty note similar to Le male but quickly converts into a spicy reach oriental fragrance. I don’t find it that unique. I think is very similar with Initio Side Effect. Perhaps I’ll have to give it a bit more time. I’m thinking to sell it and get meander instead. I’m not too kin for this oriental profile.

[@daniell5740]

Have you smelled side effect ever? Lol

[@sandymcconnell1969]

Hi Marcelo. Your review of Enclave just popped up on my feed. This is another one that I've recently been sampling. I have to say that I really enjoy the dry down - it actually surprised me with the warmer, woody notes. It's unlike anything I have in my collection and lasts a long time too. It's now been earmarked for a future purchase. I blind bought Boundless (based on the notes) a couple of weeks ago and love how it smells although I knew I would given that tobacco is a favourite note of mine.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

How spectacular is Enclave! This is one that gets mixed reviews, but I totally enjoy this fragrance over the cooler months here in Melbourne. And yes boundless is an absolute glorious vanilla tobacco fragrance… Big love for this one Great to hear from you Sandy

[@sandymcconnell1969]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I'll be purchasing Enclave at the end of the month. The plan was to order Xerjoff Renaissance at the same time but I gave in an ordered it a couple of hours ago. It was on offer for £149 for the 100mls so I couldn't help myself. I also have a sample of MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver on the way. I wore my samples of Journey Man and Ganymede yesterday and both are a pass for me. I much prefer Boundless to Journey Man and I don't like the metallic vibes of Ganymede. I'll give them both another go as Autumn approaches.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

That’s an incredible price for Renaissance, I can understand why you didn’t wanna let that pass! I just finished doing a bit of a tour on all things MFK, and have found pure enjoyment out of the entire collection. For me Gentle fluidity silver is a glorious masculine fragrance… curious to hear what you think about it

[@sandymcconnell1969]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector So my package has now arrived with my sample of MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver. Needless to say it was opened immediately and sprayed on my wrist. A perfect day for it given we are having a few days of freakishly hot weather here in Northern Ireland with today being 29c. And now for my first impressions.....what can I say but I absolutely love it. I'm not great at describing fragrances but it has a cool, sparkling gin freshness about it. It not a big projector but is very refined and extremely classy. It's exactly the kind of scent that would freshen you up on a hot day. It will therefore be purchased at some point. Thanks for the recommendation Marcelo. Have you any thoughts on Killian? A UK website that I use regularly is now stocking their fragrances. I have always wanted Black Phantom so an order has been placed too. Niche perfumery is very dangerous territory!

[@Executer1100]

I have a sample of Enclave, gave it so far 3 tries and I cannot fall in love with it. It's a good fragrance, I really like it but something is missing, and that missing part is preventing me from buying a bottle. Maybe if I would have smaller collection I would buy it but now I go only for those that are either groundbreaking or has unique smell that I have nothing like. However I am very courius about Boundless and Material cause they seem's interesting. Have a nice day and keep up the good work, your videos are very high level and you seems like a genuine and interesting person

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great feedback @Filip Ilioski. It’s funny I feel the same way about certain fragrances. Everyone else real gets into them, but for some reason it’s missing something for me. And yes!

[@nevercared3615]

Where do u get samples

[@dominik13579]

Its good, I like it. Amouge getting less edgy and more into direction of western mass appeal. Not mad at it, it still has a clear Amouage DNA. I just hope they will also continue to push and be daring and creative.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Interesting that you feel that Amouage are treading a safer path. I still find that they are staying true to their roots by using the "Amouade" accord (with the unique local notes of Frankincense, Myrrh and Rock Rose). Have you tried Material or Boundless? I find that these are quite unique and a wonderful play on the vanilla note. Great to hear from you @Domdon
