To sum it up, if you are looking for a heavy fragrance, this is not it. If you love a good sillage and longevity, this is not it. For such an elegant fragrance, there was something jarring at first. The opening burst of Encre Noire, right after applying, can actually be quite harsh. Personally, I recommend you apply only one pump and mix it in with your skin. Either way, this scent is an addictive one, with a respectable longevity and an even more respectable sillage from my experience. The total dryness of it is a make it or break it from some people, there isn't a friendly nook and cranny to hide in here. But I like that. Some of my best and most thoughtful experiences have been walks in a rainy forest, which it conveys. Don’t try and test the smell right away, it won’t do the scent justice. After you mix it in, wait a few seconds and get a good waft of the scent. The smell you get should be of pure euphoria. There was a good comment that perfectly described this fragrance - "a normal fragrance." It's ordinary, subtle, not overpowering, just for oneself, in a word. Longevity (based on my perception) is about one to three hours. Sillage is, well, "kind of" there, but weak.

Encre Noire’s lifespan is influenced by how the fragrance blossoms. As the top notes lose their punch from the beginning, The scent really relaxes and continues its calm nature for the remainder of the time. A very unique and interesting fragrance. Presentation-wise, the heavy glass bottle is adorned with a wooden cap; “ENCRE NOIR” is displayed across the front. The minimalist styling and bottle are well done, as well is the atomizer. The first time I tried the scent, I didn’t actually like it all that much. However, given the time the fragrance needs to truly blossom, I found it becoming one of my favorites in no time. It’s one that just can’t seem to be replaced by any of its peers. Truly a one-of-a-kind woody aromatic. Longevity Encre Noire is composed as a scent and at times, blends in very carefully with the environment. So it will always keep you smelling wonderful. Those around you, just may not know where that elegant smell is coming from. When to Wear It

I think this is a mature scent and would suggest this for a man 30 years or older. It’s deep scent would be ideal for cooler weather or evenings. I don’t find the scent to be overbearing and feel it would also be fine for the office. I have received many compliments on this fragrance, as I feel it is unique and projects well. I get about 6-7 hours out of an application, but everyone is different, with regards to cologne longevity. I find the silage to also be above average.
