The trilogy is finally complete with the addition of this great adaptation of Encre Noire to my collection. This is round around the edges and not as "bright" as the original or the sport but rather shimmering while still carrying the Encre Noire theme.

The vetiver in this is well blended unlike the rustic one we get from the original... that inky note is still there but it's more of an undertone in this.

All in all a great fragrance without a shred of doubt!!!

Terre d'Hermes is one of favourite fragrances out there and like Buysblind rightly put it Uomo is without a shred of doubt a dead ringer of it... I'd only add that this is missing that rustic earthy vibe TdH has but other than that, the two are indistinguishable.

Bought it blind because it was Dior and I must say I've tried so hard to like it but I just can't stand the fruity notes, maybe the reformulation is much more bearable.
