What do reviewers say about Ambergris and Encre Noire?
Built for the wear-it-and-forget-it crowd, except you won't forget it. The drydown, musky, powdery, impossibly soft, is the whole point. Spray it at noon. Still feel it when you shower at midnight.Ambergris
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
