What do reviewers say about Etruscan Water and Encre Noire?
Chypre lovers who thought they'd seen everything: this one adds salt water to the moss. The immortelle gives it a herbal kick that reads almost medicinal before the orris softens into powder.Etruscan Water
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
