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
