tldr; Dark vetiver masterpiece at drugstore prices. Earthy, wet forest floor vibes. Outperforms $300+ niche offerings. Not crowd-pleasing - acquired taste.

Best praise vs top criticism for Lalique Encre Noire
“So many women love Encre Noire. I love me some goth hunnies, so of course I picked it up. It smells like a candle wax and your hands after smoking a menthol cigarette.”
“Top 5 in 2025 Etat Libre D’Orange - Like This MMM Replica - By The Fireplace MMM Replica - From The Garden MMM Replica - Autumn Vibes Dior - J’Adore L’or Top 5 in 2020 Dolce & Gabbana - K Lalique - Encre Noire Narciso Rodriguez - Musc Noir For Her Michael Kors - Wonderlust Tom Ford - Black Orchid My tastes changed a lot, I was always quite adventurous with my fragrance choices but I stayed mostly sane with usually crowd pleasing designer frags. Then at one point something broke either in my brain or my nose and I started looking up photorealistic scents, got into all the smoky and woody and mossy and rotten things and now here I am pining after Megamare while I’m waiting for an ELDO discovery kit being delivered so I can find out what a cyborg smells like. Next stop is Zoologist.”
