## Top reviews
- ★5/5 — "Very similar to Vetiver by Guerlain, but more acerbic and headachey in the opening, and with slightly worse performance. It's too similar for me to get excited about. If I'd chanced upon this before experiencing the Guerlain, I may have been different. The bottle is amazing. Update: I'm not a fan of layering but I have layered this with JPG Le Male Parfum and it makes two loud screamers more toler…"
- ★5/5 — Spring, Fall — "First of all this bottle is ART. This scent is an evocative experience. It’s almost not even a cologne. This is not for those who minimize and cheapen fragrances as “tools for seduction”. Right out the gate it reminded me of a big bag of fresh mulch or wood chips from the garden center of Home Depot after it’s been rained on. That, and a spray of ISO e super. This is such a pleasing scent for thos…"
- ★5/5 — "Okay so I've had a little look though the reviews on here and the notes too and no mention of pepper? I find this to be very dry and peppery especially in the opening...could that be the cypress & vetiver?  Anyway... As you'd expect from Lalique the bottle is a work of art and the juice inside is stunning and totally worthy of being held in high esteem. I expected it to be darker and more pungent…"
- ★5/5 — Fall, Winter — "This fragrance is insane, for anyone worried about "reformulation" and it being weak.. Well, I dread to think what the original was like. I bought a new bottle today and one spray is enough to fill a room easily. As for the fragrance, it's absolute class. I get the feeling of the earthiness from Terre d'Hermes without any of the brighter edges. This smells like the frag dug down into TdH, ripped o…"
- ★4/5 — Spring, Fall — "Encre Noire opens with a heavy hitting cypress note backed up with a load of sharp, earthy Vetiver. As the heart develops the scent is softened slightly by the cashmere and musk, however these are soft and sparkly as opposed to animalic.  In the dry down these softer notes dissipate and the cypress/vetiver combination leads the way. It’s dark, mysterious, earthy and damp - it really transports you…"
- ★4/5 — Spring, Fall — Casual, Office — "Absolutely love it. Good for all year round wearing."
- ★4/5 — Fall, Winter — Office, Special — "Niche in designer box"
- ★4/5 — Fall, Winter — "It’s so manly! Dry and woody perfume that can be enjoyed almost all year long, but I’d recommend it for colder months."
