Performance & Scent Profile
Opening: Crisp citrus and juniper berry with a spicy flick from pink pepper.
Heart: The black tea and saffron soften the brightness into a warm, slightly resinous, aromatic core.
Dry Down: Vetiver and patchouli emerge with ambergris, giving an earthy-woody base with subtle warmth.
Projection & Longevity: Moderate projection initially; longevity is fair, estimated around 6–8 hours depending on skin. I Fragrance Official+2Now Smell This+2
Overall Vibe: A fresher, lighter reimagining of Encre Noire line DNA—more air, more color, yet still grounded.
Community & Critic Impressions
The brand describes it as “luminous yet intense … dynamic” blending fresh top notes into a warm heart. Lalique Singapore+1
Reviewers highlight the bold contrast: citrus + juniper top, followed by a mysterious tea + saffron heart, and an “inky” but not heavy finish. Fragrantica+2I Fragrance Official+2
Some users on Basenotes note the saffron gives a mildly leathery facet and the tea adds depth, while patchouli arrives gently. Basenotes
