Decanted Sample of Encre Noire by Lalique

This has a very strong smoky scratchy profile. Definitely not for everyone and isn’t mass pleasing. However, it is relatively affordable.

captivating fragrance with the richness of wood, and a peppery twist that projects throughout the day. a powerful and long-lasting choice for those who appreciate a bold and assertive fragrance.

This scent has AMAZING quality for the price. However the scent is very vetiver heavy, and comes across somewhat harsh. The cypress helps relieve some of the heaviness but it is a very difficult scent to wear. I'm glad I bough a sample of this, but it might be a while before I commit to a full bottle.

To me just smells like a nursing home mixed with avon - nursing home mixed with woods.

I thought I would enjoy this dark woody scent, but found it smelling like older people. Being a young guy, I can appreciate the craftsmanship here, but wouldn’t wear it for now. I recommend trying, especially for this price.

Amazing peppery wood scent. Dark and mysterious.

Gives off a dark mysterious vibe, so great for nighttime. Smoky and woody.

Old lady vibes. Think I had a teacher that smelled like this. Woodsy and kind of pungent and dark, a little flowery.
