- A hyped fragrance that I finally purchased and spent some time with. This is my honest review of what I think of it, who its suited to and when its best worn. This is not one for the faint hearted! Encre Noire a'l'extreme by Lalique.
Thanks for watching!
I ordered this one because I love the original, so I can’t speak about intense, but I can say about Encre noire original, it is NOT everyone’s cup of tea. If you are a fan of good smelling mass appealing scents there are plenty in the market and avoid this one.
If you want to smell unique, natural and intriguing to a select few, and you want a scent with good longevity, try it out. It’s not loud, so you won’t choke everyone that might not like it, it’s an intimate bubble for the most part for those that matter to you. It’s dark, woodsy, earthy, mysterious, and vetiver based scent. Personally I love it, especially when I’m in the mood. Also heads up, it’s manly, I’m not saying a woman can’t wear this, but she has to be a particular woman.
My go to for years has been Lalique Lion Pour Homme. That is superb. So figured I would try this too.
I think its superb, certainly projects well, and i think it has more than decent silage tbh.
I still prefer Lion but Encre Noir A L'Extreme is right up there for a quality manly fragrance. Superb value for money too given what your actually getting!
It's worth it....its not even that's expensive. Just buy it.
A very good review! Thank you! Got a vintage bottle of the original one. Tried a sport version a week ago and I liked it. It reminded me of Ganymede!!! The à l'extrême version is on it's way to me. Can't wait for it. I like heavy fragrances!
Thanks very much man! It sounds like you are going to really enjoy the a l'extreme!
I use all three of them as a varying signature scent depending on the season/weather, while rotating all of my other niche and expensive designer fragrances around them. The quality is unbeatable for the price. It probably won’t appeal to most people new to the fragrance game, or the blue fragrance lovers. It’s a masterpiece to me but I wear fragrances like Mancera Red Tobacco and Zaharoff Leather Tabac.
That opening is like a punch to the nose! But the dry down is really nice. Thanks man
It sure is man. Took me by surprise a bit the first time I sprayed it!
Its actually not a winter scent for me its too cold and dark for winter. I like this for both hiking/camping kinda situation, and night time walks in fall or spring.
Or if im watching a Bela Lugosi movie XD (this scent makes me think of him)
That an awesome take on it man and love the hiking/camping etc situations- totally makes sense 👍 thanks for sharing
It's very heavy comparing to the original one and indeed it smells like inc in Bic pens. I get a bit of headache when I wear this. It smells really luxury though.
This frag is the GOAT. Smells like nuts mixed with an old wooden closet. Banger.
Ha I like that description!. I’ll see if I can relate when I next pick it up 👍
'AC' from 'smellsgood' loves this fragrance... i do too , i own it..
He explains in a video that he was quite disappointed with it for the same reason, he then put it away in his cabinet alongside all his collection... then maybe half a year later he thought to give it a go and the performance was very good
... ive also experienced this with this juice imparticular
Perhaps thats the trick then.
I've stowed them in the closet already, I'll let the two of them sit for a year and then see how they perform and smell.
Currently, they stink...and dont perform worth a damn.
This is definitely the hardest of them to wear, but they’re a really solid line 👍
Yeah I think I might look to get the others to compare. It sounds like they will probably also provide a bit more versatility. Thanks for your comments 👍
Don't put your nose on it right when you spray it. Let it dry down a lil' bit.
why?
@@TimMarco7 its strong ig
Really interesting review buddy, that’s worth a sub 👌
Thanks very much 🙌
@@thefragrancefan1your analysis is very good but you don't post alot of videos. Why?
Great job! Thank you very much!
That was a perfect analysis. I accidentally ordered two of these. Now I have to figure out what to do with the other one. The dog doesn't even like it.
Lol that’s funny. Thanks very much man, glad you enjoyed 👍
Honest reviewing! I agree with pretty much everything you said except I think its more unisex. I wish the other reviewers put more emphasis on who this suits. its for 30+ year olds at minimum who are more mature classy personality. As a younger guy I do not enjoy it. not only because it doesn't suit me, its not my scent preference. smells like plain intensified dark jungle wood with some other notes that I'm not familiar with. the ingredients don't smell that expensive quality to me but the bottle sure looks expensive. also my climate is pretty hot right now so its a thing to note.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one. It’s always good to hear how other experience it 👍
This frag smells like money . I love the opening !
The cypress in the original made me ill after 4 hours. The vetiver and other notes all disappear on my skin and I'm left with pine-sol smelling cypress in unbearable amounts!
I bought this "a L'Extreme" version and its no better. Tried layering them with other fragrances...no joy.
Finally packed the two of them up and stowed them in the closet.
They're unbearable.
I need something that projects & last like Bogart SS Intense, but that doesn't smell like a women's grapes? Now you're saying this doesn't last or project like the other reviewers say.
OG is the most challenging to wear.. for me anyway.
Yeah I've seen some similar comments from others saying the OG is most challenging for them. I love how we all experience fragrances differently. I'm going to purchase the OG and see how it wears on me. Thanks for the comment. Cheers
@@thefragrancefan1how was the OG? Which one should I buy?
The scent is vip-top 🍂🍁🌲🌿🌘
i want this thing but the closest thing i can compare it to is ombre leather by tom ford shich i really liked when i smelt it its very wearable acctualy so is it more mature or more youthful that ombre leather? thanks
This is a lot more mature than Ombre Leather. I feel OL is a lot easier to wear and has a nice touch of sweetness that also makes it more likeable overall. Encre Noir is somewhat of an acquired taste and although a lot of people like it, OL is a safer bet and if I had to pick between the two I would pick OL
Closed me eyes: it appears to me that Russel Brandt is reviewing fragrances e
I found this easier to wear than the OG. Must Vetiver though!
yes i agree
I totally agree
Good review , mate. Thanks !
Thanks very much 👍 appreciate it!
Great presentation. Just want to know what song is that in background?
I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s one within the you tube library of music
How is the performance of the new batches? Which batch do you have?
My batch code is L0K21. This is the 1st one I have owned so not sure how compares to older versions but performance is t as good as I was expecting. I get about 4/5 hours max
@@thefragrancefan1 How and at what spray distance did you apply Encre Noire l’ extreme for reviewing performance? (Skin, clothes, pulse points, etc)
What year is the bottle?
2021 bottle. Batch code L0K21.
@@thefragrancefan1 me too
I bought this and the sports. So extreme death smell, I was scared to wear it, until I layered this and the sport together. At least I saved both bottles from collecting dust.
I’m finding It quite difficult to wear due to weather/ not the right occasion etc so may have to do similar! Or just layer with something easy 👍
PS the background music is too loud, hard to understand the narration
Thanks for the feedback on that
music backgroung is annoying.
Sorry about that. Thought it may be better than just my voice, but maybe not 😬🤷♂️
Love this shit.
I bought it 3 days ago and there's something strange that I have been experiencing, these past 3 days. First day, it was smelling nothing but very woody, second day it was having very rosy smell and now it's smelling very lipsticky. Am I the only one to experience this?
I’m still mainly just getting strong inky wood and the same wearing experience every time I use it however I do actually get what you mean especially with the rose.
@@thefragrancefan1 It's still very dark and people around me say they don't like it but sniff it when I'm not aware. 💀
More or less a skin scent after an hour.....
Can i wear it to school (high schooler)
You could… but I probably wouldn’t recommend it. It’s unlikely to get garner any positive responses and I would say it isn’t playful or fun enough. It’s very mature smelling and I would suggest something a bit younger feeling with some sweetness. If you don’t already own it then I wouldn’t purchase it for that purpose. Hope this helps 👍
Need a new mic, brother.
Sorry man- I had no mic at all at this point 😬 I do now though! 👍
It smells like mildew to me
Yeah its definitely not for everyone and I get what you mean with that 👍
Smells like Pencil Sharpenings.
Do not buy this fragrance!! You’ve bin warned
i buy it today i loveeee it Mr Fruity smell 🤣🤣🤣
