What do reviewers say about Yatagan and Encre Noire?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Yatagan persists. The galbanum cuts sharp and stays, pushing through the citrus and florals into leather and smoke that remain present as hours pass. Not subtle.Yatagan
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
