What do reviewers say about The Majestic Vetiver and Encre Noire?
The grapefruit-cardamom opening isn't for everyone. Some noses need a few minutes to calibrate. But give it time, the vetiver-suede drydown rewards the patience. This one earns its compliments.The Majestic Vetiver
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
