What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Sauvage?
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
Sauvage EDP is unapologetically bold. Synthetic in the best possible way, clean, sharp, designed to announce. If you want to whisper, this isn't the bottle.Sauvage
