    Real talk

    Lavender appears twice in this fragrance, top and heart, and it works. Seville lavender carries a slightly bitter, camphorated quality that bridges the green opening to the smoky heart.Grimoire
    The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
