Oasis Verte vs Encre Noire

The r/fragrance community views Oasis Verte positively as a well-performing, long-lasting citrusy fragrance that offers good value, particularly through Rituals' sample sizes. While some note it resembles other fragrances and find the name unappealing, most appreciate it as a solid summer option with reliable quality and projection.

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.
