What do reviewers say about Sacre Noir and Vert d'Encens?
It opens like a dare, dark, resinous, the kind of thing you'd expect to require patience. Then the sugarplum warmth arrives and it becomes something else entirely. Not a bait-and-switch.Sacre Noir
Resinous conifers and incense smoke create a fragrance with a distinctive presence. The combination gives Vert d'Encens a character that stands out visually within the Tom Ford lineup.Vert d'Encens
