Encre Indigo vs Toy Boy

The community is cautiously optimistic about Encre Indigo, driven primarily by confidence in Annick Menardo's credentials and intrigue with the aromatic note profile of black tea, saffron, and vetiver. However, some express reservations about potential overlap with the existing Encre Noire line and generic citrus top notes, with early sampler opinions showing divided reactions.

The r/fragrance community has a decidedly mixed but leaning-positive view of Toy Boy. While praised for its quality, unique composition, and daring profile that differentiates it from mainstream fragrances like Sauvage, the dominant point of contention is the rose note's prominence and how differently people perceive it. Some find it masculine and spicy with subtle rose, while others experience it as rose-forward or soapy, making it a fragrance that heavily depends on individual nose chemistry and preferences.
