What do reviewers say about Assenzio and Encre Noire?
Most fragrances sweet-talk you. Assenzio earns your attention, bitter, aromatic, herbal. The wormwood is the point, not a quirk. It's a fragrance that respects you enough not to apologize for being.Assenzio
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
