Niche but good.
Smells a bit like a Finnish sauna, but pleasant. Certainly not to everyone's taste, but definitely recommended as an unobtrusive everyday perfume, especially as the price-performance ratio is very good!

For evenings or special occasions, however, I would go for something else. Especially since I find the sillage and durability only average.

Strawberry ice cream
Smells like strawberry ice cream, definitely. Or is it mustard? This fragrance is once again a perfect example of how advertising works. There's no other way I can explain how some people can claim to read the garbage below.

Smoke, fire, Mordor's swamps, forest, old people's home...
I don't know if these people have ever stood next to a fire or smelled fresh peat.
Darth Vader would certainly wear an Opus XV - King Blue, other people would certainly have more suitable ones up their sleeves. This fragrance is not a vetiver bomb either, there are other fragrances out there.

In my eyes, this fragrance is a great introduction to vetiver and definitely unisex. My first association after reading the name and smelling the bottle: a love letter. The scent is reminiscent of ink, the light woody note that hints at the parchment chosen and the sweetness that comes from spraying on the author's favorite fragrance. Why didn't anyone mention the sweetness here? Because the fragrance is definitely sweet.

After spraying it on, you get a slightly tart, fresh green cypress together with the vetiver. This then comes more and more to the fore and merges with the musk and your own skin to form a fine, woody, sweet veil. The fragrance is really minimal and dark.

Conclusion: I really like it and I can really recommend it for the price here at Souk. Please smell for yourself and save yourself the videos of greedy influencers.

When value is not indicated by price
"Short" perfume (with little development), but of high quality, comparable to fragrances that cost 10 times the price at which it can be found. As soon as it is nebulized you are pervaded by the characteristic scent of cypress and after less than a minute a captivating vetiver makes its appearance. Cypress and vetiver alternate under our noses, throughout the night, until they vanish when we glimpse the first lights of dawn. Nothing else, to create this superb fragrance, the other notes, if present, are imperceptible.

Encre Noir
I enjoy the dry, paperi-ness and clarity of it all. It feels sleek, lean, and minimal. There's no fluff, fat, or sugar. It's like the scent equivalent of a tapered black pant. It's also nice to have on hand for taming sweeter scents. I've been pairing it with a sugary vanilla and the result is really, really lovely.

I once saw someone describe it as smelling the way licking an envelope tastes, and that's so spot on.

Earthy & woody freshness
I thought I will like this. A very woody, earthy fresh fragrance, smells like forest soil after rain. The vetiver is easily noticable. Nice scent during the drydown, the opening is was too harsh for me, it ruins the fragrance but drydown is surprisingly smooth. I do understand why many love Encre Noir and why many hate it. Me personally, I’m in the middle. I find the performance good bit better than the average designer parfum. The bottle is basic but i like the wood cap, nice touch.

Fresh, earthy, woody. So classy and manly. Not dark at all, just serious and masculine. I love it.
