    What do reviewers say about Hitfire and Encre Noire Sport?

    Most masculine fragrances chase the same (sharp) green herbs or cold spices. Hitfire takes the road less traveled, powdery violet as the lead, not the accent. It confuses people. That's the point.Hitfire
    This is the vetiver you wear when you actually know your woods. Not a crowd-pleaser by accident, a deliberate choice to smell like forest floor after rain, not like a department store.Encre Noire Sport
