Encre Noir

I'm typically not a big Green scent fan, but this... there's no going wrong with it. Longevity, sillage, PRICE... it's a monster of a deal. If you haven't smelled it yet (or bought it), do yourself a favour & take a smell of it. It's a strong green, but not one that'll beat you over the head with evergreens (though it is pretty strong, so best to expect something that's kinda out there). A few sprays & you're good to go for a long time. Cuts through the cold nicely & again... that price for what you get is almost second to none.

This 2006 release by Lalique is now considered a classic. What can I say that that people don't already know regarding this unique gem. This is a fragrance that I initially didn't like in the beginning, but after wearing it a few more times I grew to love it! I find this one very complex. I found this to be very earthy and smoky. Right out of the gate I get that vetiver note with that cypress being more in the background. As it dries down it becomes pretty woody with that vetiver still being there but taking a backseat. Performance is pretty decent as I get 8 hours + with a couple of hours of strong projection. 👌🏼
