Encre Noire (for men)

chocolateguy

Very Comme des Garcons perfume style. Deep woody, dry incense. Very dark, style, masculin and daring. Beautiful bottle. But the longervity on me is not so good. I prefer CdG parfums.

Not even nibbling Prozac from the crests of a Supermodel's buttocks would be as pleasurable as using this wonderful fragrance. Mesmerizing, melodic and divine, and surprisingly,all this from a designer fragrance, simply stunning.

First sniff does make me shocked and amaze me, reminds me of my childhood were i've used to play with a bottle of ink in my father's workdesk.. ...
and yes, the 'ink' note were the predominant 'note' from the opening to the drydown as for the bottle reflect the smell.
Though, it's quite boring for daily usage, not for everyone for sure. Great sillage, greater longevity.. ...

It reminds me so much of Chanel Sycamore! Its just wonderful scent and very different.

Aaahh this one was love at first sniff, I didn't even test anything else before purchasing Encre Noire.
When it comes to the notes, there is nothing "inky" about this one, on my skin that is. I'm sure that the most predominant note here is the cypress and the vetivers come close second, more woody-grassy than medicinal. I also get a hint of mastic resin, even though it's not listed above.
There is this beautiful cypress forest close to my town, with a long rocky path that goes through it. I know this might be a bit of a cheesy overstatement, but when I take a whiff of this perfume, I immediately think of that place and all its natural, beautiful smells.
All in all, it's appropriately long-lasting, won't offend anyone around you and is suitable for every occasion and age. Very classy and sophisticated scent, for someone that isn't looking for an ultra-commercial scent. Ah and don't forget about the minimal bottle and packaging!


PS: A woman can easily wear EN, provided she's not looking for something gourmand or flowery.

really attracting smell n similar to hermes n courvoisier

Quite remarkable. I don't think it is strong or anything like GpH. The wood is there but overpowered by a top note that can only be described as ink! Too bad it doesn't last long. The drydown reminds me of Kenzo Air! But still a unique fragrance!

Strong stuff!, similar to Comme Des Garcons MAN2 and Gucci Pour Homme(2003), very woody and not everone will like it, test before you buy

Indigo Sky

Compliments first day from people. A scent that draws you in.A dark but subtle warm inviting scent.
