Our verdict on Encre Indigo: Favourite

This one is a divisive gem. You'll either get an "inky masterpiece" or a "dental office scrub" - there's very little middle ground for this unique take on the Encre Noire DNA. Prepare for strong opinions.

About

Encre Indigo opens with a sharp burst of juniper and bergamot, underscored by a zesty pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a cool, almost metallic black tea note, intertwined with aromatic bay leaf and a hint of warm, suede-like saffron, giving it an unmistakable "inky" quality. The base settles into a clean, earthy vetiver and patchouli blend, softened by a subtle trace of ambergris, leaving a refined yet enigmatic trail.
