The community views Acqua di Parma Oud Eau de Parfum as a solid, wearable casual oud fragrance with an elegant profile that works well for daily and professional settings. While praised for its balanced composition and unisex appeal, some find it lacks personality and the opening notes feel slightly disconnected, with a few noting it may read too mature for younger wearers.

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.
