Enclosed

Enclosed opens crisp and green, a wash of dewy green notes and bright aldehydes lifted by lavender, artemisia and a spicy whisper of mace. It is immediately recognisable as the Wrappings idea: that cool, herbal, almost coniferous freshness with a vintage chypre attitude. The heart unfurls a tangle of carnation, rose, jasmine and hyacinth over powdery orris, while the base settles into oakmoss, cedar, patchouli and a touch of leather and musk, with a marine breeze threading through. Against Clinique's Wrappings, this clone keeps the green-chypre skeleton but renders it simpler and less three-dimensional, trading some of the damp-forest depth and aldehydic shimmer for a smoother, more linear wear. Projection is moderate and longevity runs a few hours before it hugs the skin, where the original is famously tenacious. As an affordable route into a discontinued-feeling green chypre, it scratches the itch for cooler-weather, characterful wear.
