Was going to bump a thread started by a bot, but thought an official thread would be better.
Let's talk fragrance. Colognes, perfumes, aftershaves, whatever helps you fight the smell of polystone and PVC.
I've just gotten in some samples of Encre Noire and Encre Noire Sport after a friend piqued my interest with his research.
Definitely enjoying these. They're dark, mature, slightly somber scents that some have called downright depressing (likely because they're simply not upbeat and loud). I actually find them quite calming. Good for winding down or creating some warmth on a gray day.
- EN has a piney, earthy warmth with a slightly smoky musk underneath. Thoughts of church candles and low light come to mind.
- EN Sport is like the original, but a bit fresher and fruitier. Not as churchy, yet similarly calming. I'd say it's a little more versatile, but both share the same DNA.
I haven't smelled very many dark '80s scents (besides Drakkar Noir), but it's been said Encre Noire is like a modern take on that vibe. Not sure I'd recommend a blind buy if you're not into earthy, musky fragrances -- or if you're looking for a compliment magnet -- but they're worth sampling at least.
