Almost 3 years as a member, lurker for the same amount of time.

Milestone is successfully using up a full bottle this year so far. I rotate what I wear so much, I never thought I would accomplish it.

I can relate. I've finished 2 bottle in last 10 years.

Probably more like useless info, nevertheless: A while ago, I finished a new full bottle (50ml) of Encre Noire in less than two weeks.

For real? How many sprays per application? Many "wearings" per day?

I have never finished a 50 ml under five years. That might be a milestone on its own? :)

4ml a day!!!
About 40-50 spritzes a day.
I guess in summer it is possible especially for a vetiver fragrance.
But still I bet that is some record.

'Twas frickin grand, fellas!
Being enveloped in that rich and saturated earthy, mossy, damp chypre-coloured deep goldenbrownish-emerald green cloak of darkish delightfulness, was indeed a wonderfully exalting experience!
Applied x times a day and it didn't even burn me nostrils, though the juice was potent. In those doses I really picked up all the facets of EN. Even had an ever-so-slightly miniscule touch of dry coconut, to my nose. Instantly ordered a 100ml (which I still have[emoji23]).
Being Encre, it's understandable. I can barely detect the stuff.
LOL! [emoji2936][emoji2935] It was quite potent, though.

Sorry for not multi-quoting, I just now saw your post.
Well I don't remember, but I certainly re-applied x times daily as I just couldn't get enough of it. And yes, 50ml in 5 years sounds a lot more...ehmm..normal [emoji23]
