“The original Encre Noire's louder, smokier cousin — vetiver smoldering inside a cathedral.”
The take
What works
- ●Smoky incense-vetiver depth that punches above its price
- ●Better performance than the original Encre Noire
- ●Cold-season ammunition without smelling like everyone else
Trade-offs
- ●Balsamic-incense weight too heavy for daytime warmth
- ●Opening reads as ink-and-rubber to some noses
