Encre Noire à L'Extrême Lalique 2015

The fragrance starts off very woody. But not the woody one, like Oud Wood or Wood Wood by Issey Miyake. It's somehow freshly woody, like when you go into the forest in the morning. I would describe this freshness as slightly spicy, probably due to the bergamot. The longevity and sillage are really good and considering the price (25-30€) it's really a scoop. There's something unique about the scent that you don't get to smell when you're around people, so you stand out from the crowd and you're not part of the Dior Sauvage community. I don't really use it anymore because I still have many others, but when I do, I like to wear it with a black outfit or a linen shirt in the evening in summer :).
