What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Zara Fig?
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
Some fig fragrances lean soapy. Some lean dessert. Zara Fig leans green, and stays there. It's the fragrance for someone who wore a borrowed shirt, liked how it smelled.Zara Fig
