In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Encore by Alta Moda is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for men. Encore was launched in 2013. Top notes are Cardamom, Mandarin Orange and Rum; middle notes are Patchouli, Egyptian Jasmine and Pepper; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Cedar and White Musk.

Reviews →

Nabati opens with a sharp burst of sea salt, cardamom, and dark rum over a heavy base of leather and oud. Christian Provenzano contrasts marine watery notes with dry cedar and smoky amber. It wears best during cold autumn nights, cutting through freezing air with aggressive projection and an earthy patchouli trail.
