What do reviewers say about Incense Forest and Encre Noire?
The coffee note is doing the heavy lifting here, not the incense. That's the move that separates this from every other smoky wood: a heart of coffee, caramel.Incense Forest
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
