Vetiver Noir

The scent no one else
at the party is wearing.
Hand-poured fragrances in runs of 200 or fewer. Each bottle signed by the nose who composed it. Impossible to find at Nordstrom — that's the point.

Real batch numbers. Real bottles. Real reactions.
"I wore Ink & Tobacco to a gallery opening. Three people asked what I was wearing before I'd even had a drink. Batch 177 — I tracked it down like a record collector."
Dara Okafor
Creative director, Brooklyn
"Sent Cold Library to my brother for his birthday. He called me immediately. Not to say thank you — to ask where he could get another bottle before they were gone."
Mei-Ling Cho
Gift-giver, San Francisco
"Salt Flat Morning is the first fragrance I've worn that doesn't smell like everyone else's morning. It's mine. Bottle 61 of 200 — I know because I check."
James Whitfield
Architect, Chicago
"The note pyramid on the card was more accurate than any department store description I've ever read. You smell it and think — yes, that's exactly what they said it would be."
