SmokyWhat does Encre Noire Sport smell like?
It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, Provençal lavender and cypress, a clean, citrusy first impression. In the heart, nutmeg adds spice, aquatic notes keep it cool, and two vetivers give it a green, woody, earthy spine. Musk and cashmere wood soften the base.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and mostly reads as masculine. Lalique Encre Noire (Eau de Toilette) and Carven Vétiver (2008) have a close profile.
