    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 Friday afternoon of fragrances. Not trying to impress anyone. Just there, doing its job, smelling like you planned something good. Freshie guys.Nº 5 Frescor Absoluto
