Lalique Encre Noire Sport is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Nathalie Lorson. Encre Noire Sport opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cypress, Lavender, and Rain, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, and Vetiver. Lalique's Encre Noire Sport carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
