Encelade by Marc-Antoine Barrois captures the raw beauty and untamed energy of nature in a powerful blend of vibrant greenery, smoky leather, and rich woods. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, the fragrance opens with the distinctive tartness of rhubarb, introducing a crisp, green freshness that feels both invigorating and unexpected. At its heart, an intense leather accord emerges alongside earthy vetiver and aromatic Atlas cedar, creating a sophisticated contrast between fresh botanical notes and deep, smoky warmth. As the fragrance develops, creamy sandalwood softens the composition with a smooth, comforting richness, while tonka bean introduces subtle almond-like sweetness and warm, hay-like nuances. The result is a striking balance of freshness, sensuality, and woody depth. Powerful, mysterious, and beautifully unconventional, Encelade evokes the dramatic energy of a volcanic landscape through a fragrance that feels both primal and effortlessly refined. **All Notes:** Rhubarb, Atlas Cedar, Vetiver, Leather Accord, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood.

A “MAISON DE COUTURE” FOR MEN
Born in a Northern French family who had made name for themselves in the textile industry, Marc-Antoine Barrois tries to get back to the fundamentals of luxury with no ostentation but delicatesse and humanity. After having learnt pattern-making and sewing, he presented his first collections in Lille before joining the Maison de Couture Dominique Sirop. Then, he worked with Jean-Paul Gaultier at Hermès, Jean-Claude Jitrois and Giambattista Valli. This experience made him realise the need for unique, original and elegant pieces for men.
Since 2009, Marc-Antoine Barrois offers a contemporary creative bespoke service, offering men what Haute Couture offers to women. From suits to tuxedo, capes to coats or even jogging jackets made in incredible fabrics, leathers or embroideries, Marc-Antoine Barrois makes his clients’ dreams come true with a personnal service and a traditional know-how in his Paris workshop.
Ten years after commencing Haute Couture, French couturier, Marc-Antoine Barrois launched his first perfume.
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
