Lalique Encre Noire a l'Extreme Eau de Parfum Natural Spray

I love it. Woody, a bit smoky, and there's an incense/churchy feel to it as well. Lasts 5-7 hours no problem on skin, longer on clothes.You can read a ton of reviews of this all over the Internet, and they'll give you a load of different scent comparisons - I've read people say its like carrying a Cypress tree all day, and others saying it's like a vampire's coffin, and very gothic. But at the end of the day, if you like a woody, dark scent with incense notes, you'll be on board with this. Personally, it reminds me a bit of Nuit d'Issey, but darker and more complex.I say it again, if it was £100 I wouldn't be surprised or complain, I'd just wear it a bit less. At this price it's a bargain and a gem.

My 'Headline' says it all.This is simply an amazing scent.I now have five men's fragrances that are the 'be all and end all' for me and Lalique Encre Noir a I 'Extreme is number five.It fits so perfectly in with the other four that it might have been ordained.The opening fresh citrus/cypress combination is like a walking through a pine forest with the snow falling. This gives way in rapid order to a woodiness that is akin to walking past a sawmill in the same forest with the scent of fresh saw dust and hint of resin wafting around lightly.The dry down takes a while and adds hints of cedar and orange peel citrus mixed with iris giving a subtle soapiness.The woody notes do not let up, however.Sillage is a perfect balance of strength and longevity (on my skin at any rate).Staying power is a good 8 hours but if in contact with clothing (wool jumpers for example) a good deal longer.This scent is criminally under-priced for its quality but I for one will not be complaining as long as it is readily available.On second thoughts..................................."This scent is rubbish. DON'T BUY IT!"All the more for me :-)

Overall its good at the first sniff is like woah because how strong it is but then it settles down and smells really good but i would say it lasts about 4 hours and then its just very faint on the skin lasts a bit longer on clothing wish it did last longer cause it doesn’t seem to last any longer then the none extreme version which i thought it would last longer but for the price its really good

I can spray this on in the morning, and people still smell it on me in the evening. I think this is one of the best kept secrets of the fragrance world. I won't be without it. My only gripe is that the spray tip is the same colour as the housing. so it's a bit of a lottery knowing which way it's going to spray. Come on Lalique, make the spray source tip a different colour. Still its not going to knock off a star. This is definitely a 5 star

Not long lasting

Initial scent is earthy and woody, after it has been on the skin a while it becomes more spicy with citrus overtones. Very unique and definitely long lasting, easily the whole day.

This seems to be a bit of a budget darling amongst YouTube reviewers/influencers. It's an interesting fragrance, incensy and smoky, but suffers from very poor performance. Only traces of the scent left after a couple of hours. Basically a skin scent with no sillage, projection or longevity.
