Scent profiles of the picks
For Lalique Encre Noire (Eau de Toilette, 2006), expect dark, earthy vetiver like wet cypress wood: cypress and vetiveryl acetate up top, cashmere wood and musk underneath. Lalique Amethyst (Eau de Parfum, 2007) comes across as juicy berries with soft rose powder, with blackberry and blackberry leaf at the start and musk, woods and vanilla at the base. Lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme (Eau de Parfum, 2015) reads as smoky cypress and vetiver over resinous dark woods, opening on cypress and elemi resin and drying down to patchouli, sandalwood and Siam benzoin.
