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 - Autoportrait Eau de Parfum

This woody-balsamic fragrance is a quiet charmer, perfect for those seeking introspective comfort. While some find its performance lacking, its unique blend of woody resins and subtle freshness makes it a beloved, albeit intimate, wear.

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.
