I ordered Encre Noire by Lalique blind - it was everywhere on social media, and luckily I got it at a good price. By now, the prices are so high that I wouldn't buy it again.
When I first sprayed it, I was honestly shocked: to me, it smelled like someone had packed damp, moldy earth into a bottle. But the more I tested it, the more it captivated me. With this fragrance, I discovered my enthusiasm for vetiver.
It smells earthy, dark, and mysterious - almost enigmatic. For me, it fits perfectly with rainy days or walks in the woods, where it reveals its full effect. The longevity is strong, and the scent reliably accompanies me for hours.
Encre Noire is not for every moment or for everyday wear, but when the mood is right, it is incomparable.
