What do reviewers say about Aura for Men and Encre Noire?
Built as a counter-argument to the loud masculinity of 2000s masculine fragrance. Henri Bergia gave it restrained projection and a workday lifespan, not for those who want to fill the room.Aura for Men
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
