Lalique Encre Noire a l'Extreme Eau de Parfum Natural Spray

Product Information

My final impression is that its a Cypress forward scent, with a vetiver base. In the opening and mid drydown its smokey but it loses it in the final phase. It is still an incredibily unique, evocative, nostalgic, dark, bitter green, artistic perfume. Maceration made it smoother, more rounded and dry woody. I still maintain my opinion about the performance, it is average at best, atleast on my skin. It is not a powerfull perfume, and it shouldn't be. This is not a fragrance you spray everyday, it wouldn't do it justice. This is one to enjoy alone, when the mood calls for it.

This smells like as if you stepped into a hidden library with inks and book smells smearing all over you The presentation is wonderful. The sprayer is also one of the best I have, like Dior Sauvage you can choose just how much you spray.To me, this is very reminiscent of a wooded forest at dawn, in mid-Autumn. Wet, herbal, and incredibly woodsy. Wet orange leaves peppering the forest floor, that is covered with moss and mushrooms. There's even an accord that reminds me of the rising fog at dawn. As for the people saying this fragrance is "sad", I really can't help but feel that you WILL find that in this fragrance if that's what you're looking for. However not everybody around you is expecting and looking for a sad fragrance. People I've shown this fragrance to have rather said it just smells peaceful, among other similar things. Saying the same with this one as with A L´Extreme....Can´t stop sniffing my arm when I wear it :D It´s an absolute favorite with great longevity 8-10h hours on my skin. This one is Stroong Cypress Vetiver Woody.

For delivery to France (including Corsica, French Overseas Territory undelivered), the average delivery time is between 1 to 3 days from the date of dispatch. Smells like what I’d think silent hill (especially in silent hill 2) smells like. The misty dreamlike atmosphere, the ominous and heavy fog yet relaxing and peaceful stillness present side by side, the tall trees that go on forever. Even though this is known as a winter fragrance I always associate it with a humid dry forest in the summer, probably only because I got it during summer though so take that with a pinch of salt. Nevertheless I love it, the flankers aren’t as good in my opinion, I think they do too much, the bitter resin opening of the extreme reminds me slightly of BO and the sport smells to me like a watered down and citrus sharp version of the OG, whereas the simplicity of the original, in my opinion, is what makes it so unique. The few notes in this fragrance combine to form something more complex than most bottles I've ever smelled. The wood is more reminiscent of something like wet log in a forest, rather than woodchips. Wearability: 8.0 (It leans more toward the night-time and cold weather, although I consider it perfectly safe to use it during Spring and Fall daytime) But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression…the dark side of the Force are they, easily they flow… once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will…"Encre Noire is actually far tamer, potentially more conventional, and firmly unisex in reality. That is coming from someone in their 30s who loves oddball, left of center, avant garde scents, whatever you want to call it. I don't wear Aventus, Dylan Blue, Sauvage (no hate, just not my style). So take my opinions with a grain of salt. The dark side does not serve us. We serve the dark side. If we glorify it through our acts and our work and our art, it gives us power. It gives us life. Even life eternal." You get a touch of softwood (cashmere) and musk with the base notes to enhance the pleasant dark atmosphere. Have you ever been in a catholic church when they burn incense? Because that's EXACTLY the smell and anyone who has will recognize it instantly. For those who haven't, it's like wood, smoke, earth, and salt. My skin brings out the astringent quality of cypress that I adore so much, but the smoky vetiver radiates quite well as well, and it even has a nice edge that reminds me of orange peels.
