A comunidade do r/fragrance vê Encre Noire como um excelente perfume nicho com bom custo-benefício e caráter distintivo, elogiado por sua composição amadeirada e orientada para cipreste, além da qualidade em relação ao preço. No entanto, é altamente polarizador devido à sua natureza escura, seca e inflexível que atrai principalmente entusiastas de fragrâncias em vez de públicos em massa. Os flankers (Sport e A L'Extreme) oferecem alternativas mais versáteis, enquanto o original permanece como a opção mais carregada de caráter.
