What do reviewers say about Hermessence Vetiver Tonka and Encre Noire?
This is vetiver for people who want the earth without the grit. Ellena softened the sharp edges with hazelnut and tonka, not to hide what vetiver is, but to give it somewhere warm to settle.Hermessence Vetiver Tonka
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
