Encre Indigo – Lalique

A Blue-Ink Inspired Vetiver-Tea Aromatic with Spicy Citrus and Depth

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Bergamot, Juniper Berry, Pink Pepper

• Heart Notes: Bay Leaf, Black Tea (Jukro), Saffron

• Base Notes: Vetiver (Madagascar), Patchouli, Ambergris Accord

Performance & Scent Profile

• Opening: Crisp citrus and juniper berry with a spicy flick from pink pepper.

• Heart: The black tea and saffron soften the brightness into a warm, slightly resinous, aromatic core.

• Dry Down: Vetiver and patchouli emerge with ambergris, giving an earthy-woody base with subtle warmth.

• Projection & Longevity: Moderate projection initially; longevity is fair, estimated around 6–8 hours depending on skin.

• Overall Vibe: A fresher, lighter reimagining of Encre Noire line DNA more air, more color, yet still grounded.

Community & Critic Impressions

• The brand describes it as “luminous yet intense … dynamic” blending fresh top notes into a warm heart.

• Reviewers highlight the bold contrast: citrus + juniper top, followed by a mysterious tea + saffron heart, and an “inky” but not heavy finish.

• Some users on Basenotes note the saffron gives a mildly leathery facet and the tea adds depth, while patchouli arrives gently.

When & Where to Wear

• Seasons: Spring, Summer, Early Fall

• Occasions: Daywear, urban settings, evenings when you want a refined aromatic rather than a heavy scent

Why You’ll Love It

• A modern twist on Encre Noire DNA: retains depth but infuses brightness and air.

• The tea + saffron heart brings sophistication and nuance beyond pure vetiver woods.

• Freer, more wearable in warm weather than darker versions in the line.

• Balanced blend of citrus, spice, and woods complex without being overdone.
