WOW this cologne is CRAZY good !

just received my order yesterday from overstock.com ($35.99) for the 3.3oz Pour Homme EDT

this cologne is AWESOME !!!

vetiver, cypress, cashmerean wood and musks

I have lots of great colognes and many costing 3x-4x the price I paid for this and I must say I am VERY impressed, I read so many great reviews and decided to chance it with a blind buy .. I am so glad I did and will likely be ordering another bottle soon

... wife said " you smell CRAZY GOOD "

Lots of love for that fragrance here. Enjoy!

Looks great, what would be the closest scent you'd compare it to?

Scottie: I haven't tried or sampled as many colognes as the other guys here. But I can't say it comes close to anything I have tried or sampled.

Encre Noir is one of my favorites as well. Been wearing it a lot lately.

I keep seeing this, I'm gonna have to get my hands on a bottle soon.

EN is a revelation - dark brooding sophistication.

Bad enough I get sucked into new shave soaps but of course now I want this, Lord I have no willpower.

I am a huge Aventus, Armani Code, Prada Amber, Obsession, Gold, Oscar De Larenta fan how does this fit in?

Yeah this a great frag. Seems the colder it is out the better it performs.

Okay while I haven't tried it. I hear that Chanel Sycomore reminds people of Encre Noir in some ways, but is different. So this may be one to put on your to try list.

I tried this, and loved it. Just didn't last long enough on me to justify a purchase, unfortunately.

The Encre Noire is my favorite Winter scent, the Sport version that I just picked up adds a fresh note which is nice as the weather starts to warm up.

Love it. It's great for any time.

Encre Noire is a quality niche fragrance priced like a discount store knock-off fragrance. It's even a better bargain than the price suggests, as it quite potent (I use 2-4 sprays with most fragrances, and 1-2 with Encre Noire; the only things I've tried with similar strength are a few Montale EdPs). I've had three family members and friends buy it after smelling me wearing it. I recommend it highly.

EN is a great buy if you like vetiver. Unfortunately, my wife hates vetiver and can't stand it when I wear anything with vetiver featured prominently.

I have heard about this vertiver and am intrigued by the description of its scent. I have some soap from QCS called vertiver on its way along with a few other sampler soaps. If I like the soap's scent I may just have found a nice fragrance to complement it after my shave.

Can't wait to hear your report .. I really dig it and so does my wife, have also received several compliments from friends, coworkers and strangers
I think you'll definitely agree that's it's a fragrance like no other, very unique and way underpriced IMO

grrr....this sites soooo bad for me. never heard of it but just ordered it cos of this thread :-D

Samples are the way to go or more research on you tube or base notes. This was the one scent that got a you tuber a negative comment. I tried it and I do like this scent but it is not one I would wear often. You can look it up on basenotes for better information but to me it is exactly like a pile of wet October leaves close to a burned out campfire (smoke) surrounded but distant pine and pepper trees. It does not have that cheap synthetic smell, it is polished and refined and lasts for days.

I also EN early this fall and really like it. The name in French is black ink, and working in the publication industry, I can agree. On initial application, I get alot of press ink. After a bit it fades away, but if I sprayed a bunch on and then walked back into the press room, someone might ask if I had gotten ink all over me.
