What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Le Patchouli?
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
The woody heart gets serious about itself. If you've been burned by patchouli's dirty reputation, this one earns trust differently, powdery, almost gentle.Le Patchouli
