Subtle, fresh, floral, clean, bright. More white-blooming than hot-blooded. "Yawn," says my wife, and continues to use my Encre Noire PH.

Should actually be called Encre de Chine. Linear, minimalist, and interesting. Lorson had relatively free rein here, unlike with others.

The almost successful attempt to copy Smash by Sergio Tacchini? Or the other way around? Huh? They really smell similar, but cost very differently.

Dusty, powdery fougère, not too sweet and dry for old lavender lovers. The scent for the film: "Dance of the Vampires" by Polanski.

Beautiful spicy chypre that reminds me a bit of Halston's Catalyst. Thanks to the reformulation, it's still wearable today.
