Encre Noire à l’Extrême by Lalique Review

It is completely understandable for one to expect that the Encre Noire à l'Extrême will be a more intense version of the original based on the name alone, but in reality it is not. What is most surprising to us is that it has a more watered down flanker that is easier and perhaps even more pleasant to the nose, with the oud playing well with sandalwood and a few other woodsy accords. Sillage is milder, but so is longevity. Still, it is not a scent to guarantee compliments along the way, and requires a little more discernment on when and where to wear.
