Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour’s L’Entropiste brand has launched Ensang Noir, a new unisex fragrance.
On an old desk, an unfinished letter lies, stained with black ink and still-wet red; around it, silence is absolute, a withered rose droops under the heat of a forgotten lamp, a chilling breath traverses the room—was it a confession too late, a stifled cry of love, or a testament written in urgency? No one will ever know to whom these last lines were intended.
Ensang Noir, imagined by Bertrand Duchaufour, is a work of extreme tension, a raw olfactory poem where passion burns and freezes forever. A cold breath of aldehydes opens the composition, quickly disturbed by the green acidity of blackcurrant and the faded delicacy of a rose in tension. In the base, incense and opoponax entwine in the shadow of patchouli. Ensang Noir is a trail of sublimated pain, where ink and blood merge into sacred calligraphy.
Additional notes for the floral chypre include coriander, cucumber, caramel, magnolia, peony, birch and vetiver.
L’Entropiste Ensang Noir is available in 50 (€210) and 100 (€295) ml Eau de Parfum.
