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.

Our Verdict - Tokyo Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper head-scratcher. It promises exotic Tokyo vibes but delivers a divisive blend of familiar masculine notes and elusive Japanese twists. Some rate it a unique, spicy temple forest, others a generic muddle. Try before you buy, obviously.

Encre Noire A L'Extreme Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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.

Tokyo Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Its moderate projection and fresh-spicy character make it suitable for office and casual wear, leaning towards a sophisticated daytime choice. However, the 'masculine leaning' sentiment and unique spice notes make it less versatile for formal events or sporty activities.
