What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Italian Cypress?
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 cypress is the whole point. It doesn't blend in, doesn't soften, doesn't apologize. Everything else, citrus, herbs, warm moss, exists to support that single austere note.Italian Cypress
