    Real talk

    The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
    A lesser-known Russian house made a fragrance that punches well above its weight. The citrus opening hits harder than you'd expect from this price point.Only You
