What do reviewers say about Sir Avebury and Encre Noire?
A workhorse fragrance that earns its place in the rotation. Moderate projection means it won't fill a room, but the lifespan carries through an entire workday without reapplication.Sir Avebury
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
