Full Incense לעומת Encre Noire

Full Incense is a competent incense fragrance that delivers authentic churchy scent notes, but the r/fragrance community feels it lacks originality compared to established competitors like Comme des Garçons incense line or James Heeley fragrances. While devoted Montale fans appreciate it, most consider it a decent option rather than a standout, especially given its discontinuation and limited availability.

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.
