La comunità di r/fragrance considera Encre Noire un'eccellente fragranza di nicchia dal rapporto qualità-prezzo straordinario, elogiata per la sua composizione legnosa e dominata dal cipresso, nonché per la qualità al prezzo offerto. Tuttavia, è altamente polarizzante a causa della sua natura scura, asciutta e senza compromessi che attrae principalmente gli appassionati di fragranze piuttosto che il pubblico di massa. I flanker (Sport e A L'Extreme) offrono alternative più indossabili, mentre l'originale rimane l'opzione più caratterizzata.
