Encre Noir by Lalique

I like it very much. The first time i tried the edp and it's quite better than the edt i finally bought (more deep and the drydown it's fantastic, very long lasting, complex and appealing for me). However for the first two hour i also like the edt very much. The first minute it's fresh and "green", and i instantly like it. But it's the drydown that i prefer. After a few minutes it changes and remainds me the smell of a burning forest of resinous fir-woods. After 30 minutes it mixes up, and it remainds me of the ashes. After one hour it's not too pronounced but people around you still get a clean, and for me it's ok (i dont like very strong and coarse scents)
For me it's also quite sexy in a tenebrous and dark way.

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

My first impression is of a perfume too strong and particular. I dislike it very much, i can't stand the strong way it smells and above all there's a prominent note that nearly disgust me (maybe patchouli?). After a couple of hours this prominent note became more subtle and mixes up whit other notes in an intriguing wat, yet it remains distinguishable. So the drydown it's better, but after all i can't wear a perfume that disgust me for the first two hours!!

Fahrenheit 32 by Christian Dior

At first impression it slightly remainds me the original Fahrenheit, but with a new and more freshly tone.
I don't dislike it for the first 20-30 minutes. But the drydown is way too sweet, at least for my personal taste. I would like vanilla but not so plain.
I prefer "dark" fragrances, so this one is not for me
