    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
    Seemann doesn't care if you like it. That's the draw. The marine-fish-seaweed core is bracing, unconventional, built for someone who wears the ocean's indifference like a stance.Seemann
