Encre Noire (EDT)

"Encre Noire is a dark woody vetiver fragrance launched by Lalique in 2006 and composed by Nathalie Lorson. It is widely recognized for centering vetiver in a stark, inky, almost gothic style that feels more atmospheric than conventionally crowd-pleasing. The composition opens with aromatic cypress and a crisp synthetic vetiver facet before moving into Haitian and Bourbon vetiver at the core. In the drydown, cashmere wood and musk soften the rootsy bitterness and give it a smooth, shadowy trail. The scent has become a modern classic in affordable masculine perfumery because of its distinctive character, minimalist structure, and strong value-for-money reputation."
