Encre Noire Pour Elle

Lalique · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2009

≈ $55 · 100ml · approx. retail

The feminine companion to Encre Noire, composed by Christine Nagel, softens the line's signature vetiver with freesia, rose and osmanthus for a floral-woody-musk profile aimed at women. It reads as an elegant, slightly androgynous take on vetiver rather than a purely sweet floral.
