What do reviewers say about Aqua Pura and Encre Noire?
This is the aquatic that people who hate aquatics can actually wear. No synthetic storm. No pool-house headache. Just the idea of open water, done right, at a price that doesn't require a sailor's.Aqua Pura
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
