I found it! Encre Noir (Black ink) is exactly what is expected from a french fragrance, no other country can compete. It's indulgent, decadent and luxurious. Quite a thick, somewhat heavy and nauseating scent, yet it's posh, fabulous and gorgeously dark. Lalique does a wonderful job of presenting this in the style of an ink bottle. Notes of cypress, vetiver, moss and wood lasts the the day and throughout the night. You'll smell it everywhere for the next 24 hours! Remarkably this is a budget fragrance, yet it easily masquerades itself as a high end, red carpet au de parfum. Gothic, Phantom of the opera meets Rocky horror and Dracula. Perfect for wearing in the autumn/winter months. However, festive sparkle this is not, neither is it the run-of-the-mill high street eu de toilette. This is sophistication on the cheap, grandeur on a budget. It's Lalique after all, what else would one expect? Review: excellent entry point into niche frags - ok, first things first - if you're thinking of buying this because you're looking to smell great to a *wide* range of people, stop. i don't think this is that. pick up club de nuit intense (aventus clone) or one of the many, many designer "blue" fragrances. if you're on a budget, Milton lloyd has a clone of sauvage called Leo that's a tenner and will get you most of the way there imo. encre noire translates to black ink, and the perfumer has done a fantastic job with that in mind - i mostly get cypress, vetiver, wood and an inkiness that permeates and ties it together. the thing is, i don't know many people who would like to be constantly smelling an inky forest. I love it, I know other people who love it, but it's not something I'd say has mass appeal. If you see people saying longevity sucks - I don't see how that's possible. This is a pretty ISO e super heavy fragrance, which sticks around. It's possible they're just going anosmic to it. For what it is, I think it's impeccable. The price is crazy for what you're getting. Detractors have said it's "simple" and that chanel's Sycamore does it better - well, maybe, but sycamore is 10x more expensive. encre noire has a well deserved cult status in the fragrance community and unless lalique triple the price i don't see that changing ## Features - Fragrance from the designer house of Lalique - An eau de toilette spray for men - Woody and aromatic scent - Base notes of woody, aromatic, green, earthy, musky - 100 ml bottle ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001FORJXQ | | ASIN | B001FORJXQ | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,234 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 85 in Men's Eau de Toilette 409 in Home Fragrance | | Brand Name | Lalique | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (5,103) | | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (5,103) | | Date First Available | 12 Dec. 2009 | | Delivery information | We cannot deliver certain products outside mainland UK ( Details ).

Mysterious. Minimalist. Encre Noire ("Black Ink") by Lalique is a cult classic that has carved out a niche for itself in the world of designer perfumery. Originally released in 2006 and crafted by perfumer Nathalie Lorson, it remains a standout for its bold use of vetiver—an earthy, smoky note not often given such a spotlight in mainstream fragrances. Scent Profile Top Note: Cypress Heart Note: Haitian Vetiver Base Notes: Cashmere Wood, Musk The opening is a cool, green burst of cypress, evoking the feeling of a damp forest floor after rain. Quickly, the fragrance dives into its core: vetiver, in all its raw, inky glory. Unlike the clean, grassy vetiver found in fragrances like Grey Vetiver or Terre d’Hermès, Encre Noire's vetiver is smoky, damp, and slightly bitter, creating a moody, introspective atmosphere. As it dries down, cashmere wood and musk soften the darkness just enough, adding a warm, woody texture without compromising its stark identity. • Performance: Longevity: 7–9 hours • Sillage: Moderate to strong • Projection: Strong in the first couple of hours, then more intimate. Despite being quite affordable, Encre Noire performs like a high-end niche fragrance. It's potent, but never overbearing—more of a low, steady hum than a loud shout. • Wearability & When to Wear It: This is a fall/winter scent, best suited for evening wear or moments when you want to project depth and mystery. It’s not a mass-pleasing “freshie,” and that’s precisely its charm. This isn’t for a beach day—it’s for a rainy night, a quiet walk, or a contemplative evening. • Bottle size: The 100ml size bottle should last a decent amount of time as only a few sprays are required to acquire an aura of this intriguing scent. • Bottle Design: The bottle is as austere and elegant as the scent inside—a heavy, inky black square with a wood-textured cap. Minimalist, luxurious, and perfectly matched to the fragrance’s mood. Pros: • Unique, bold vetiver-forward scent • Niche-like quality at a designer price • Excellent performance and presentation • Length: Lasts a decent amount of time with strong projection at the start which gradually becomes more subtle over the course of around 7 hours. Cons: • Not versatile—too dark or serious for some occasions • Might be challenging for those new to earthy or woody fragrances Final Thoughts: Encre Noire is not for everyone—and that’s what makes it special. It’s unapologetically dark, earthy, and moody. For those who appreciate vetiver and want a fragrance with character, restraint, and depth, Encre Noire offers one of the best value-to-quality ratios on the market. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lalique Encre Noire Eau de Toilette - Bentley For Men Intense Eau de Parfum 100 ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48015836-encre-noire-eau-de-toilette](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48015836-encre-noire-eau-de-toilette) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
