Description

Lalique Parfums have a unique signature that combines creativity in its bottle design with exceptional quality within its fragrances. Perfumista is in no way affiliated with, or working in any form of partnership with, the brand owner. I have already finished a quarter of the bottle cause I need to spray it 10-15 times to have it last any decent amount of time, and even at that it's 2 hours maximum.

After an hour or so however, the cozy elements come to the front, rounding out its profile to a sublime balance of freshness, earthiness, woodiness, and subtle spice. In the end, the hard, unmistakenable core of Encre Noir remains (slightly softened), while the warm notes begin to receed. Picking up the smell in the air reminds me of Chanel's Sycomore which is crazy considering how cheap this bottle is! If Encre Noire Sport dials up the citrus and fresh spiciness of the original, A L’Extreme dials those notes way down, leaving only the tiniest hint of fresh spice when it dries down.As the top-note there is a lot of coniferous/woody freshness, as if you just broke off a young cypress branch, masterfully complimented with a little citrusy bergamont freshness to give that extra "zing". Parfum (fragrance), Aqua (water), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Tris(tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol) Citrate, Alcohol, Bht, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Isoeugenol, Geraniol, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Coumarin, Ci 14700 (red 4), Ci 19140 (yellow 5), Ci 17200 (red 33), Ci 60730 (ext Violet 2). It makes me think of snowing in a forest while watching from a cabin by the fireplace, drinking a special whiskey. Sprayed on paper, it made me think of some very particular incense sticks I owned at one point — one of the fairly fancy Japanese kinds (in the box, not burning).

While it has this "inky" aspect to it much like the original, it seems to be somewhat toned down by a plethora of other woody notes, a tad of bergamot and an extra kick of vetiver. Both are of course valid ingredients, but together they create a discordant cacophony of sensations which is altogether unnerving. Some people may be more sensitive to some of its facets resembling organic glue or burning plastic, but to me it's just burning wood.it gives me the "ink smell" vibe (encre noire = black ink) mixed up with the gorgeous Vetiver and the smokey incense. Personally, I like even L'extreme even better than the EN EdT, because it has more Bums and lasts longer. My biggest negative is that for some reason I go noseblind to this one much faster and more often than other fragrances.

It’d make a good choice for those who want an alternative to the sugary confections filling up the shelves in the high street. If you're very familiar with pine forests like I am then this will not smell "dark" to you, it will smell like freshly cut heart wood. In sum, I love ENALE both for the ways in which it is similar to Sycomore (EDT) and for the ways in which it differs. It reminds me of my days as a scout (dib dib) all in all, I think I need to get used to it but so far not bad.Oh yes, the divide in marketing should be no barrier but I’ve never found a fragrance that’s aimed at guys that works for me. The scent is still great (especially in a first 2 hours), but after that time it becomes sour and quiet. Initially it smells bitter yet Smokey almost like you’ve thrown a ton of leaves on a bonfire, it then becomes slightly peppery with that same leafy bonfire smell, after a couple hours it dries down to a Smokey sandalwood. Had 2 bottles of it (2015, 2016), and was recently testing newer batch (2022) and I learned my lesson.
