Encre Noire Sport
Encre Noire Sport by Lalique is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2012 in the budget price tier. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and juniper berry, moves into vetiver and cypress and dries down to cedarwood, musk and amber. 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.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
