What do reviewers say about Encre Indigo and Bleu de Chanel?
This is vetiver with actual personality. The ambergris in the base keeps it from becoming another smoky one-note exercise. Ménardo understood the brief and then improved on it.Encre Indigo
Versatile enough for daily wear, interesting enough to stand out. The vetiver-grapefruit pairing gives it an edge that's hard to place. Clean enough to trust, warm enough to remember.Bleu de Chanel
