What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Bois d'Ebene?
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
The juniper is just the greeting, once it steps back, you're in smoky guaiac territory, dark and resinous and rooted. It is a fragrance that rewards patience.Bois d'Ebene
