What do reviewers say about Vicious Mind and Encre Noire?
Cocoa and tonka bean in the same fragrance is either your favorite thing right now or a dealbreaker. Here's why it works: the clove and black pepper keep the sweetness from becoming dessert.Vicious Mind
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
