I don’t find the men’s that masculine, really…but I’m a vetiver fiend. Have not tried the women’s, but haven’t heard anything positive about it yet either.

This smells great, but it has to be the right man, def. not for every one.
I tried the women’s version and was very disappointed. Would wear the man’s out if I could get away with it, or just around the house alone.

I don't know…I don't think it has anything to do with what you look like or how feminine you are, just your tastes. I wear it because I love the smell of vetiver and I don't find it overwhelmingly masculine…

I do sniff since october on my sample and I think it's gorgeous for a dark men. Well, it is one of the few things I adore, BUT: can I wear it?
I am a small person, and very feminine. For usual I do not care about male/female distinction on scents, but this one is very “male”.
wonder if I sould buy some TDC samples instead as I love the Ellena stuff.

You'll have to try the three other mens' fragrances; they are all exquisite. The “Lion” sits regail in the middle, the cedar-based “Equus” to its right, the blue (and melancholiy) “Faun” to its left. To me they are essential, Equus when I want a lift, Faun when I am feeling, yes, blue. The Lion is for everything in between.

So glad someone else got it unsniffed and loved it! I don't own any other Laliques myself, but this one is perfect.

I too bought Encre Noir untested, and I love it. This is a terrific dark scent that is authoritative but not overpowering. It's a great addition to my shelf (which also inlcudes Fendi Uomo, Smalto PH, Shiseido PH, Ungaro III and many other “dark” scents). I love all of the Lalique mens' scents and will always have a bottle of each on hand.

Just the other day I ordered a Chai scented candle unsniffed, and it arived today. It hasn't left my sight. I've been HOOKED on it. It's an AMAZING fragrance. (It's by White Barn New York, btw).

Congrats on your new purchases! I didn't fall for Louve, but Tam Dao and I have a long-term relationship
