What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Русская Лаванда (Russian Lavender)?
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 isn't the lavender of English gardens or French soaps. Russian lavender has a harder edge, more herbal, less sweet. If you've been burned by 'grandma's perfume' lavender.Русская Лаванда (Russian Lavender)
