What do reviewers say about Vetiver Terra and Encre Noire?
Sweet enough to surprise anyone expecting a sharp, austere vetiver. The caramel and tonka bean move in close during the drydown, wrapping the earthy vetiver in warmth. Some find that a betrayal.Vetiver Terra
This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
