    What do reviewers say about London and Encre Noire?

    This fragrance earns its name. The opening is genuinely aquatic-green, cucumber and violet leaf that reads like rain on stone, but it refuses to stay cool.London
    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
