Encre Indigo
Encre Indigo by Lalique is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, juniper berry and pink pepper, moves into bay leaf, saffron and black tea and dries down to vetiver, patchouli and ambergris. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Bay Leaf Warm, aromatic and slightly sweet. The backbone of classic barbershop scents.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
