What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Russian Leather?
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
This is the fragrance that earns the word hedonistic without ever becoming sweet. The leather is the point, not soft, not worn, but present. Cade oil and vetiver give it smoke that stays smoky for.Russian Leather
