Amouage Enclave Review: A Spicy Amber Masterpiece

Julien Rasquinet’s bold unisex creation redefines warm spice for modern luxury

By Vivir · · Updated
Amouage Enclave, launched in 2020, is a unisex Eau de Parfum that immediately commands attention. Crafted by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, it belongs to the house’s ‘Enclave’ collection, a line that explores the idea of a protected, exclusive space. The fragrance is built around a core of cardamom, spearmint, and pink pepper, supported by a rich amber-leather base. It is a bold, aromatic-spicy composition that has quickly become a favorite among enthusiasts who appreciate intensity and longevity. Enclave is not a shy scent; it announces itself with a vibrant, green-spicy opening that evolves into a warm, resinous heart and a deep, leathery dry-down. The fragrance is available only in EDP concentration and retails between $150 and $400 depending on the bottle size. Despite its strength, it remains surprisingly versatile, suitable for both men and women who enjoy a confident, sophisticated presence.
