“Encre Noire dragged into daylight — same dark roots, with citrus and air around them.”
The take
What works
- ●Bridges Encre Noire's vetiver into spring and summer wear
- ●Unique fresh-but-earthy profile in a sea of generic blues
- ●Designer price for genuinely original work
Trade-offs
- ●"Sport" branding misleads — this is still complex, not gym-locker fresh
- ●Bitter cypress opening polarizes the casual buyer
