Launched in 2013 by Lalique and crafted by perfumer Nathalie Lorson, Encre Noire Sport is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that stands out for its exceptional value. This composition opens with bright citrus notes of grapefruit and bergamot, quickly giving way to an aromatic heart of lavender and nutmeg. The base features bourbon vetiver and Haitian vetiver, offering a lighter, sweeter interpretation compared to the original Encre Noire's austere profile. Praised by enthusiasts for its affordability while still delivering on quality, it has become a go-to budget-friendly alternative to more expensive vetivers like Tom Ford Grey Vetiver and Hermès Terre d'Hermès.

Apply two sprays — the fresh citrus and aromatic top notes fade within an hour but allow the vetiver base to shine through. This fragrance pairs well with casual wear for a day that transitions from morning activity to afternoon meetings.
