Encre Noire

It opens with the sharp, resinous snap of cypress, quickly grounding itself in the bracing tension of Bourbon and Haitian vetiver. This is a scent stripped of color; it moves away from citrus brightness into the ink-black density of damp soil and ancient roots. A foundation of cashmere wood and dry musk provides a structural, velvet-textured finish that lingers close to the body. It eschews projection for pure, quiet intensity, behaving like a static shadow that remains steadfast from the first morning spray until the final hours of the night.
