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
What you get with this one is cardamom and cinnamon at the opening hitting with actual conviction. The spices arrive without apology and establish themselves immediately.Varens D'Orient Elixir
