What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Aroma de Hormiguero?
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
It's the kind of fragrance that makes people pause. Geosmin isn't a polite note, it smells like earth, like storm, like something real. Some will think it's too strange.Aroma de Hormiguero
