Encre Noire
Encre Noire by Lalique is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2006 in the budget price tier. It opens with cypress, moves into vetiver and haitian vetiver and dries down to cashmere wood, musk and cedarwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Heart
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
Dry-down
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
