What wearers say
“Boy, this is awesome. Inky incense, amber and vetiver. Deep, rich scent but the sweetness of the amber mixed with the incense keep it from being too dour and dark.I don't really find it similar to Encre Noire or Encre Noire A L'extreme. I mean, maybe the sweeter, more incensey, and much less vetiver heavy distant cousin of the extreme? Or like, they're unrelated buddies with a vaguely similar haircut and sense of style?I picked it up for 25 bones or worms or what-have-you, and it's a genuine cheapie steal at that price.”
“The note breakdown is spot on. Zenith Noire is basically a smoky vetiver with amber underneath. Smells simple, cozy, and dark. The quality here is not cheap, and the perfume does have a slightly sweet resinous feel to it. The longevity here is substantial, with over 6 hours of performance. Nothing special, but the scent does its job perfectly. I would say this feels like a designer/simplified version of Amouage Interlude.”
“I really dig the profile, but the performance seems to be a bit disappointing so far. It's really quiet, I was expecting more from the representative of Zenith line.”
