Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Encre Noire A L'Extreme Eau de Parfum

This is a masterpiece dark woody vetiver for the price, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Lalique delivers niche-level quality on a budget, though some batches seem to struggle with longevity. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but if you like gothic forests and contemplation, you're in for a treat.

Statement

Our Verdict - Lato Oscuro Extrait

Lato Oscuro means 'Dark Side', and it delivers: this is a deep, resinous, aromatic scent unapologetic in its intensity. It's a statement piece, not a crowd-pleaser for the faint of heart, perfect for those who appreciate a truly unique aroma. Prepare for strong opinions.

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

This scent's dark, bold, and resinous character, combined with reports of moderate projection, makes it less suitable for a typical office environment. However, its sophisticated and mysterious nature is well-suited for casual outings or evening wear, with some finding it appropriate for dates or even layering for formal events. It's definitely not one for the gym.

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its potent profile of woody, amber, and balsamic accords, Lato Oscuro is too commanding for a typical office setting. It truly shines on dates or formal events where its luxurious depth can be appreciated without overwhelming others.
