What do reviewers say about Super Cedar and Encre Noire?

Despite the name, the cedar keeps a restrained profile. A brief rose note appears and fades as the wood takes over, leading to a dry vetiver and musk finish.Super Cedar

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
