What do reviewers say about Mister and Encre Noire?

Here's the thing about this one: it sits in the gap. Not loud enough for the gym, not sweet enough to be another tobacco designer flanker. The herbs and tobacco together create a kind of late-evening.Mister

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
