Encre Noire is a masculine, mysterious black crystal block presented by the house of Lalique in 2006. Its unique but memorable design attracts attention with its dark, woody stopper, which is inspired by black ink and dedicated to intelligent man of today's time.
We can expect the feminine version in September 2009. It was tailored after the edition for men, which was dedicated to contemporary philosophers Encre Noire Pour Elle also arrives in a black flacon with elegant inscriptions Encre Noir Lalique on one side and Pour Elle on the other side of the mystical cube. Special limited flacon is made of crystal, with golden engravings and a top which fits the edition perfectly. Its outer carton is luxurious and composed of painted precious wood.

Creator of this edition is Christine Nagel, who presents scents of vetiver forest, shrubs and greenery surrounded with carefully chosen floral essences in this perfume. The fragrance opens with fresh citruses ruled by Sicilian bergamot combined with ambrette from Indonesia, while cold notes of freesia are an overture to a floral heart of this composition. A heart is dominated by Turkish rose, which is sweet and thick. It is accompanied by Chinese osmanthus, which leaves honey and sweet, fruity aromas, along with Kephalis molecule of the house of Givaudan, which leaves opulent, warm, amber and tobacco-like aromas. A base introduces Haitian vetiver, cedar from Texas and magical trace of musk. The fragrance is characterized as sophisticate, warm and sensual.

Encre Noire Pour Elle will be available as 50ml edp for about 79 euro and100ml edp for 109 euro, as well as perfume extract in a crystal flacon – luxurious and limited one, made of black crystal, available in amount of 30 ml, for 849 euro. ( cosmoty.de , photo: Pedro Moura Pinheiro)

This Scent is on my must- have- list.
I think,it would be an great scent.
I love vetiver and other woody notes.
I have mixed feelings about this one - I'm excited, but hesitant to try it. I know I'll end up sampling it because I can't pass up anything created by Christine Nagel, but I'm not a big fan of the mens' version of Encre Noir - I find it to be slightly sour and a bit linear. I know it has a lot of admirers, though, including my boyfriend. The bottles, however, are undeniably beautiful!
This is going on my test list along with the new Christine Nagel/Lolita Lempicka I've been so eager to try! Can't wait!! :)
