Encre Noire Sport

by Nathalie Lorson

Lalique Encre Noire Sport is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Nathalie Lorson. The fragrance opens with Nutmeg, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cypress, and Rainwater, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Cashmere Wood, and Musk.

Our verdict on Encre Noire Sport: Favourite

This flanker takes the original Encre Noire's dark, earthy core and splashes it with energising grapefruit and aquatic notes, creating a fresh, moody masterpiece. It's divisive if you hate vetiver, but for everyone else, it's a surprising gem and a blind-buy bargain.

Its moderate projection and fresh-woody profile make it highly versatile for office or casual wear without being intrusive. While 'Sport' is in the name, it's not a typical gym scent; instead, it's refined enough for many daily situations, but perhaps too unique for formal events.

About

Encre Noire Sport plunges you into a vivid, rain-soaked forest. Bright, zesty grapefruit and bergamot cut through an initial earthy depth, swiftly giving way to the aromatic greenness of cypress and clean, almost mineral-like aquatic notes. A powerful vetiver backbone provides an inky, woody foundation, softened by the delicate warmth of cashmere wood and a clean musk. It's a fresh yet mysteriously dark scent, reminiscent of wet soil and lush woodlands after a downpour.
