What do reviewers say about Id and Encre Noire?
The powdery iris is the divide. Some find it the most beautiful part of Id, others wonder where the promised volcano went. But that's the tension worth wearing.Id
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
