What do reviewers say about I Am Darkness and Encre Noire?
Incense fragrances divide people. Either you want smoke and resin wrapping around you like a second skin, or you find the whole thing too much. This one splits the difference, darkness is the name.I Am Darkness
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
