What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Vétiver?
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
Vetiver is one of the most versatile materials in perfumery, yet it too often plays a supporting role. The root adds earthiness to florals, grounds tobacco blends.Vétiver
