Lalique - Pour Homme VS Encre Noire VS White

post #1 of 22

Thread Starter 
I appreciate they're all probably completely different, but I want to buy at least one of these given all the positive reviews.

Based on my wardrobe and ratings, which do you think I should try? From reviews, i'm leaning towards White atm.

Any help appreciated!

PS is Pour Homme also known as Lion? Or is it a different fragrance?

He's referring to Lalique White. Of the three I have pour Homme & Encre Noire, and prefer EN. I like White, but haven't decided to get a bottle.

Lalique pH is sometimes called Lion (referring to the Lion head engraving on the bottle) as there are also Lalique pH Equus & pH Le Faune. I prefer pH Equus than EN.

I love Encre Noire, much more so than Lalique PH.

Perhaps I am not the most suitable person to offer an opinion, because I have not tried Lalique White. That being said, I really love Lalique pour Homme. It is refered to as "the Lion" by some. I prefer the EDT concentration more than the EDP. Good stuff and a classic in style.

Encre Noire is nice, but I feel like it has something bothering me. It reminds me of Terre d'Hermes in that way. I know they don't smell alike, but what I am saying is that they both have something that bothers me and I don't like to wear it. But its not a big deal, because while the fragrance is decent, it is not that special to me. I do like Haitian Vetiver, but there are other scents I can get it from.

I own FBs of EN and White, and of the two I would definitely recommend EN - it's one of my all time favorite vetivers. White is nice, too, but much less distinctive and interesting than EN, I think.

I took a look at your wardrobe and I do not see White fit in there. White is a very standard citric cologne. EN would also be too dry for you. Probably Pour Homme is the one you are going to enjoy more.

pour homme is the nastiest and most vile thing on the planet! definitely do not buy if you are a young person.

I own Lalique PH Equus (EDP) It's a refined woody scent, underated IMO. I have also White, which is very different, defnlty unisex, fresh and nice if you want to play it nice but "low key" or subtil. I like both very much.

I literally had to JERK my head back from the scent strip because it smelled so bad.

Lalique White is a mysterious and very underrated citrus scent. Very versatile, and signature scent material. Encre Noire though is my favorite, but I don't wear it very often; pH is also nice, but a bit more "run of the mill" the dill note is a little interesting, but to my nose, smells like Ed Hardy's Love & Luck for the most part. Nothing really smells like EN or White. Well Sycomore smells a bit like EN, but is far more expensive. White is in a league of its own. It's on my wish list personally; not often will a citrus fragrance be on my wish list, but this one is deserving of it. Can't wait to get a bottle.

I actually picked up a bottle of White last week or so and I really, really like it. I was at my fave mom and pop fragrance shop and the owner was showing me lots of stuff-- and none of it was particularly impressive-- he slipped a strip of Lalique White under my nose and I was immediately a fan of it-- it's very heavy on nutmeg and pepper. One of my male colleagues liked it so much that he had to write it down so he could go buy a bottle.

I got a White giftset, and honestly, the deo stick that came with it is fantastic. I used it when going to the gym a few times and it did a great job of keeping me fresh and smelling good.

I also have Encre Noire and the one with the Lion on it and they're all good IMO. The Lion is a little sleezy and musky, but I like that sometimes.

I prefer Lalique PH EDP. Encre Noire may be a bit more interesting, but I feel PH is more pleasant. Never tried White.

Have you tried Lalique's PERLES? Tweedy chypre made up of rose, bourbon pepper and patchouli - although created for women, it is eminently wearable by men - very masculine.

I've En as well as White. I love both. Everybody is aware of En....White is a decent peppery fragrance layered with some creamy vibe. The only problem is its longevity. I enjoy it for 2-3 hour max then it goes very very close to skin..but if you look at the price then its a decent frag.
