SOTD: Encre Noir by Lalique
First wear of this tasty little dankboi today, after recently polling the Brothers for some buying guidance. I really like this fragrance. It’s green and vetiver forward, with an amazing swampy base that brings Bog Monster vibes. It’s moreish, and moorish, and woody and windswept and bleak. There’s also an unsettling sweetness which gives it depth and intrigue above and beyond a mere dirty dampness, and I am here for it. I can see this one being used a lot, in times when I want people to smell me and think “dude, seriously?” I’ve seen it described as the fragrance that a vampire would wear. I definitely think it’s more Danhausen than Dracula, which is no bad thing. Donned it at 8am, still going strong in the bracing Spring sunlight at 3.5 hours later. Definitely a recommended fragrancehausen. Thanks to the Brothers for the guidance. I also bought the Le Beau Le Parfum for anyone following along at home.
