Une Verveine vs Encre Noire

Une Verveine receives modest interest from the community with pleasant initial impressions, but the presence of pear is a notable concern for those specifically seeking fragrances without that note. The scent appears best suited for casual sampling rather than full commitment.

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.
