This is a great dark smoky wood scent composed mostly on me of lovely slightly rank/green vetiver wood with a charred surface.It makes me think of smoky autumn; charred vetiver, the suggestion of...

I own a lot of vetiver scents, but this is one of my favourites. It has a nutty quality to it, and a lot of depth. It has a certain boozy quality, I looked up the notes and it has a bourbon vetiver...

So delicious. Encre Noire is a chewy, rich, dark, nutty vetiver, and it’s dead sexy on anyone. The price is so low for what you’re getting. I have Sel de Vetiver, Guerlain Vetiver, Terre d’Hermes,...

This is a really sexy scent. I love vetiver as a note, and it's prominent here. I've tried Guerlain, Tom Ford, Creed, and countless others. While I do enjoy those ones, nothing has brought me to my...

Edit: I recall a commendation from Aedes perhaps to layer a fig scent with this. . . Smoke, incense, vetiver, citrus, elemental. If you are unsure of your tolerance for unsweetened men's...

All vetiver with a touch of ceder wood and a hint of cold ash. Not my style of fragrance but if you adore vetiver, this is a must try. Smells aloof, cool, and a little melancholy. It's very well...

I really like that initial blast of vetiver. I spritzed this on my husband and WOW, it was sexy! But then, it just turned pepper-tastic. I was hoping to have hubby wear this but........when we...

YOWZA!! Encre Noire or "Black Ink" deserves a 5++ for the packaging, a large, dark, ink box. Encre Noire uses TWO kinds of Vetiver, Bourbon and Haitian. Interesting that it's called "Ink" which...

This is mostly about the vetiver on me - oily, dark vetiver. I also can get the woody cedar undertones, and an almost licorice like under note. I definitely can understand the association to...

Vetiver and cedre. Whatever. I just love this. I love it so much that I won't care less what notes are actually in this perfume. Just bring it on!

Encre Noire is a beautiful androgynous fragrance that smells of soft incense and driftwood. Alas, like most vetiver-based scents, the far drydown turns sour on my skin. Until then, though... bliss.
