What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Red Tobacco?
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
It's not trying to be liked by everyone, and that's exactly the point. Red Tobacco projects hard and smells expensive. The opening is a red flag for bubblegum fans.Red Tobacco
