A richer, more intense reimagining of the original Encre Noire, this eau de parfum edition by Nathalie Lorson deepens the cypress-vetiver core with incense, benzoin and patchouli for a smokier, more resinous drydown. It keeps the elegant, understated masculinity of the original while adding weight and longevity for cooler-weather wear.
