Vetiver in a very pure form. The scent reminds me of Lalique Encre Noire, but it is not as deep and broad. The fragrance unfolds very calmly and that's great, it is thoroughly vetiver and hardly anything else. The vetiver smells pleasantly woody and slightly smoky, a bit earthy. I think for people who like vetiver, this fragrance is highly recommended. It lasts easily 15 hours and is very high quality. Those who know and like Lalique EN will also enjoy this scent. However, for me, Encre Noire is the better choice as it is much more interesting.

I sprayed the fragrance on my forearm and wanted to let it develop, which it did. It was about 20 degrees Celsius outside, sunny, and definitely way too warm for such a scent. Very very sweet, I then tried to wash the scent off at home, but I really didn't succeed. I soaped and washed the spot on my arm several times, and about 24 hours later, the scent is still noticeable on my arm. The fragrance is quite good, I would say, what I still smell on my arm is mostly just something sweet, vanilla and/or amber. I think in winter I will give the fragrance a second chance, because for about 15 euros you definitely get a scent that, with a bit of imagination, could be mistaken for a Tom Ford Noir. If you like heavy and sweet fragrances, this one is quite suitable, BUT only for very cold days.

Hello,

I wanted to complete the Encre Noire line and bought the Sport. I expected a somewhat diluted version of the original, but I was far off!
Dominant in this scent, in my perception, is the grapefruit, but the bitter variant from the peel, the scent you get when you peel the fruit. Added to that is lavender and then the rest of the original. I pondered for several days about what this reminded me of, and eventually, I had the revelation: an Issey Miyake scent, but I have no idea which one exactly. EN Sport is fantastic and easily perceptible for over 12 hours. The grapefruit accompanies everything consistently, and lavender as well, fantastically done, I am really thrilled.

I bought the fragrance because of the outstanding reviews and critiques on YouTube and here. Purchased for 30 euros, I eagerly sprayed it on my arm, waited a moment, and all I got was pineapple and a bit of smoke, so smoked pineapple. That was it, nothing more came through. My girlfriend thinks the scent is okay, but just okay. I find the Lalique Encre Noire line to be worlds better and more interesting. I once tested Creed Aventus and found nothing special about the scent, and certainly nothing that could justify the price. If this fragrance is supposed to go in that direction or smell better, then okay, maybe it does, but all I smelled was pineapple juice and smoke. I like smoky scents, something like Jacomo de Jacomo, Bentley Absolute, etc., and fruity ones are fine too. From the combination, I expected this fragrance to be extremely good, but for me, aside from pineapple and smoke, there was nothing; those two notes were linear and quite long-lasting. If you like that, you’ll be well served here. For me, it’s not really worth the money; the bottle is extremely high-quality and heavy. All in all, the fragrance is not bad or unpleasant, it just smells like fruit juice, and that’s not really my thing.
