Amouage Enclave EDP

See the original fragrance profile, notes, performance data and current retailer options.

Amouage Enclave puts cool mint over cardamom, cinnamon and warm resins. Frankincense, patchouli and leather give it weight, so the freshness feels quite different from a light mint cologne.

Check Abraaj Enclosure at FragFlex for the closer interpretation, or explore DUA Sanctuary for another route through mint, spice and leather.

#1 Fragrance World Abraaj Enclosure fragrance bottle
Closer mint-and-amber interpretation Best for Enclave’s cool mint against warm resins
Fragrance World

Fragrance World Abraaj Enclosure

Enclosure moves from mint and warm spice into incense, a touch of rose and a dense amber-and-leather finish. The cool opening and warm base create the familiar contrast.

Currently sold out at FragFlex. The 10+ hours reflects a longer reported wearing.

Chaos verdict

The closer interpretation here for someone drawn to Enclave’s mint, incense and amber combination.

How it differs from the original

The opening can feel rougher and more toothpaste-like. A little extra smoke and less sweet freshness change the balance, while the amber can take over as it settles.

What works
  • Recognizable mint-and-amber contrast
  • Spiced incense through the heart
  • Rich leather-and-resin finish
Tradeoffs
  • FragFlex listing is currently sold out
  • Opening can feel rough and toothpaste-like
  • Less sweet freshness than Enclave
#2 The Dua Brand Sanctuary fragrance bottle
Leather-and-resin interpretation Best for Mint and cardamom with a bolder leather edge
The Dua Brand

The Dua Brand Sanctuary

Sanctuary brings mint and cardamom into a brief floral heart, then lets leather and labdanum grow warmer and denser. It keeps the fresh-to-resinous direction with a forceful presence.

The 6–8-hour figure is DUA’s general brand estimate, not a timed skin-wear result.
Chaos score 8/10
Similarity 84%
Longevity 6–8 hours
Chaos verdict

An alternative for someone who enjoys the mint-and-spice idea and wants plenty of leather and resin.

How it differs from the original

Sharpness and leather can dominate, making it feel more forceful than Enclave’s cool-and-warm balance. The resinous finish can take on a dark, almost oud-like impression.

What works
  • Distinct mint and cardamom opening
  • Warm leather-and-labdanum finish
  • Another interpretation of the Enclave style
Tradeoffs
  • Can feel sharp and overwhelming
  • Leather may dominate the fresher notes
  • Wear figure is a general brand estimate
04 / Our process

How we chose these fragrances

Resemblance estimates weigh the opening, heart and drydown at 30%, 40% and 30%. Enclosure’s 10+ hours is a reported longer wearing, not a typical minimum. Sanctuary’s 6–8 hours is DUA’s general brand estimate, rather than a timed skin-wear result.

The final verdict

Enclosure is the closer starting point for Enclave’s contrast of cool mint and warm amber. It can be rougher at first and a little smokier, with less of the original’s sweet freshness. Sanctuary is another option if you enjoy a bold opening and a leather-led finish. Enclave itself keeps the more polished balance between those cool and warm sides.

05 / Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which scent is closest to Amouage Enclave?

Abraaj Enclosure leads this pair at about 86% resemblance. DUA Sanctuary follows at about 84%.

What makes Enclave different from a fresh mint cologne?

Its mint sits over cinnamon, cardamom, incense and a strong amber-and-leather base. The result has much more warmth and weight.

How long does Abraaj Enclosure last?

A longer reported wearing reached 10+ hours. That is not a typical minimum, and the mint can soften much sooner.

How long does DUA Sanctuary last?

DUA gives a general brand estimate of 6–8 hours. This is not a timed skin-wear result for Sanctuary.

Does Enclosure have the same sweet freshness as Enclave?

It can feel less sweetly fresh and a little smokier, especially once the warm base comes forward.

Which option puts more emphasis on leather?

Sanctuary can make leather and labdanum especially prominent, with a dark, almost oud-like finish.

Is Enclosure’s opening smooth?

It can be rough and strongly minty at first, with a toothpaste-like edge before the warmer notes settle in.

Does Sanctuary stay minty throughout?

Mint and cardamom lead the opening, but leather and warm resins can take more of the spotlight as it develops.

Are these light summer fragrances?

Both have cool mint, but their dense amber, leather and resins can feel substantial in hot weather.

Is rose a major part of the scent?

It is part of the heart, though its prominence varies. Incense, amber and leather often make the stronger impression.

Is DUA Sanctuary a hybrid?

No. It is a single-inspiration interpretation of Enclave, rather than a blend of several reference fragrances.

When is Enclave itself the better fit?

When its polished balance of cool mint, sweet freshness, incense and warm leather is the detail you most enjoy.
