What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Darkincense?
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
Every frag-head has one they return to when they want to prove a point. This is the one that shows smoke doesn't mean loud, and animalic doesn't mean messy.Darkincense
