Encre Noire by Lalique is the house's best-known men's eau de toilette, a 2006 woody aromatic composed by Nathalie Lorson and named for black ink. It is built almost entirely on vetiver: a bracing opening of cypress gives way to a dark, earthy heart of vetiver before cashmere wood and musk soften the dry-down into a smooth, slightly smoky woody trail. Austere, green and quietly elegant, it is a modern vetiver classic that suits cooler days, the office and evenings alike, presented in its black glass cube with a wooden cap.

The community verdict
Cypress at the start gives way to a soft dry-down of cashmere wood and musk, with earthy vetiver in between. Encre Noire stays woody and aromatic all the way through. Autumn is the season for it, winter fits as well, and night is its best hour, though daytime is fine.
