What do reviewers say about Bacara and Encre Noire?
This is the fragrance that makes people argue about rhubarb. It shouldn't work, tart vegetable in a citrus structure, but it does. Cedar keeps everything civilized while ambergris whispers rather.Bacara
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
