What do reviewers say about Ascension and Encre Noire?
There are plenty of fresh fragrances that stay clean. Ascension doesn't. That bergamot arrives with an edge, sharp and assertive in a way that feels deliberate.Ascension
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
