Intense Black vs Encre Noire

Intense Black by Lomani is a rarely discussed fragrance in the community, mentioned primarily as a more accessible alternative to expensive Creed fragrances like Royal Oud. While it appears to interest fragrance enthusiasts looking for classy wood-based options, the lack of availability and minimal community discussion limits strong consensus on its actual performance and quality.

The r/fragrance community views Encre Noire as an excellent value niche fragrance with distinctive character, praised for its woody, cypress-driven composition and quality at its price point. However, it's highly polarizing due to its dark, dry, and uncompromising nature that appeals primarily to fragrance enthusiasts rather than mass audiences. The flankers (Sport and A L'Extreme) offer more wearable alternatives while the original remains the most character-driven option.
