And even the next day, my clothes still emit the soft musky scent of it enough for others to notice. There are few fragrances that I need to pump upwards of 6 hits, but with this formulation I must for it to last beyond 3. It was freezing when I first smelled this though, and it is raining today, which does seem to compliment this fragrance much much more. Perhaps I am biased here as I'm not a particular fan of resinous fragrances, much preferring the more natural green, herby and floral scent profiles. This one is a lot smoother, still has a dark but fresher vibe, some would say more appealing than the og.

Encre Noire is bracing and uplifting, and its complete lack of sweetness means that it stays this way for hours. By skin scent, I mean if I spray the inside of my forearm I have to put my nose an inch away to pick up anything.The Lalique fragrances have a unique signature that combines creativity in its bottle design with a quest for exceptional quality within its fragrances. Some people may be more sensitive to some of its facets resembling organic glue or burning plastic, but to me it's just burning wood. Like if you primed me by telling me this smells like leather, I’d have accepted it and wood would probably never have even entered my mind. Composition of the new fragrance ENCRE NOIRE A L'EXTREME is announced as very masculine, intensive, powerful.

The first one that comes to mind for me is Maison Martin Margiela’s Soul of the Forest, though that one has more layers, adding flashy highlights of maple syrup and pimento. I spent the better part of a day trying to figure out why some people say it smells like death, or it's medicinal, or just plain offensive.I'll stick to the original after this bottle is gone but it's worth a try if it sounds interesting to you. Tried two sprays on the left wrist, very good first impressions including arm length projection with pleasant manly notes and later eternal longevity.
