Alright, let’s talk about this here… what’s it called? Lalique Encre Noir. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ them city folks would use. But lemme tell ya, even us old hens can appreciate a good smell, even if we don’t know all them fancy words.
So, this Encre Noir… it’s supposed to be a man’s smell. A man’s smell! Hmph, I’ve smelled plenty of men in my time, and let me tell you, most of ‘em smelled like dirt and sweat. This here Encre Noir, though, it’s different. It’s… woody. Yeah, that’s the word. Like trees. Like when you go out to the woods after a good rain. That kinda smell.
- It’s fresh, too.
- Not like them flowery things the young girls wear.
- This is… clean.
They say it’s got somethin’ called vetiver in it. Vet-i-ver. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find growin’ by the creek, don’t it? Well, whatever it is, it smells mighty nice. Makes you think of strong, silent types. The kind that don’t talk much, but get things done.
Now, the bottle… it’s somethin’ else. Black as night, it is. And it looks like one of them old ink bottles my grandpappy used to have. You know, the ones with the feather and all that. Fancy, I tell ya. But even though it looks fancy, the smell ain’t like that. It’s… down to earth. Like a good, honest day’s work.
I heard some folks say they wear it even when it’s hot as blazes outside. Vegas summers, they said. Can you imagine? Vegas is hot, hotter than a skillet on a wood stove. But they say it works. Says it keeps ‘em feelin’ fresh and… crisp. Like a new dollar bill, I guess.
To me, though, this Encre Noir smells like… well, it smells like a man who knows what he wants. A man who ain’t afraid to get his hands dirty, but still cleans up nice for Sunday meetin’. It’s a strong smell, but not overbearin’. It’s got that… what do you call it? That… staying power. You know, you put it on in the mornin’, and you can still smell it at night.
And that’s important, let me tell ya. You don’t want none of that stuff that disappears faster than a plate of biscuits at a church picnic. You want somethin’ that’s gonna stick around. Somethin’ that’s gonna make folks say, “Hey, what’s that you’re wearin’?” And then you can tell ‘em, “It’s Lalique Encre Noir.” And they’ll probably nod and say, “Oh, that fancy stuff.” But you’ll know better. You’ll know it’s just a good, honest smell, for a good, honest person.
It’s got this… cypress smell too. You know, like them tall trees that grow down by the swamp. They got that kinda sharp, clean smell. Mix that with the woody smell and the… vetiver smell, and you got yourself somethin’ special. Somethin’ that makes you feel… well, it makes you feel like you can take on the world, even if you’re just an old lady like me.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a good smell for your man, or even for yourself, if you like that kinda thing, you might wanna give this Encre Noir a try. It ain’t cheap, mind you. But sometimes, you gotta pay a little extra for quality. And this here Lalique Encre Noir, well, it’s quality stuff. It’s the kind of smell that makes you feel good, makes you feel strong, makes you feel… like you can do anything. And that’s worth a few extra dollars, wouldn’t you say?
It ain’t just a smell, it’s an experience. It takes you places. It makes you remember things. It makes you feel alive. And that, my friends, is what a good smell is all about.
So go on, give it a try. You might just surprise yourself. You might just find yourself smellin’ like a fancy city fella, even if you ain’t never stepped foot outta the country. And that, my friends, is the magic of a good perfume… or cologne… or whatever you wanna call it. It’s the magic of Lalique Encre Noir.
