Die r/fragrance-Community betrachtet Encre Noire als ein hervorragendes Niche-Parfum mit ausgezeichnetem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und charaktervollem Profil. Das Parfum wird für seine holzige, zypressengetriebene Komposition und die Qualität zum Preis gelobt. Allerdings ist es stark polarisierend, da sein dunkler, trockener und kompromissloser Charakter hauptsächlich Parfum-Enthusiasten anspricht und nicht für ein Massenpublikum geeignet ist. Die Flanker (Sport und A L'Extreme) bieten tragbarere Alternativen, während das Original die charaktervollste Option bleibt.
