What do reviewers say about Cedre and Encre Noire?
Some fragrances shout. Cedre whispers. The coconut isn't tropical or playful, it's the soft, woody kind that rounds out the cedar without making it sweet.Cedre
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
