Real talk
The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
It smells expensive. That is the trick, vetiver doing the heavy lifting while the citrus floats above it, elegant rather than loud. The sillage is moderate, which means you are the one who knows.Vetiver Pamplemousse Elixir
