What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and L'Eau Froide?
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
This shouldn't work. Marine notes and mint. Incense and pepper. The combination sounds like a collision, not a fragrance. But L'Eau Froide is the rare perfume that actually earns the word 'cool'.L'Eau Froide
