What do reviewers say about Bois d'Argent and Encre Noire?
Bois d'Argent is restrained by design. The frankincense opening reads cool, almost clinical, before the myrrh and iris heart softens the picture. If you want a quiet statement, this delivers.Bois d'Argent
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
