Is Encre Indigo suitable for year-round wear?+−
While it performs exceptionally well in the transitional seasons of fall and spring due to its earthy and spicy notes, its fresh juniper and bergamot top make it suitable for summer evenings and winter office wear as well.
How does this compare to the original Encre Noire?+−
Encre Indigo is significantly brighter and more "fluid." While the original focuses on dark, earthy cypress and vetiver, Indigo introduces tea, spices, and citrus, making it feel more approachable and less "gloomy."
Does this fragrance have the "beast mode" projection some other Lalique scents are known for?+−
No, the consensus is that Encre Indigo has moderate, respectable projection. It will last through a standard work day or evening out without being intrusive or filling a room.
Is this considered a formal or casual fragrance?+−
It is highly versatile. Community feedback suggests it works equally well for business meetings, daily errands, or leisure activities, though it leans slightly more towards a "mature" and "elegant" profile than a typical sporty scent.
