Mukhalat Malaki vs Encre Noire

The r/fragrance community views Mukhalat Malaki as a standout value fragrance with an appealing floral composition. Multiple users praised it as an excellent bargain, with one commenter noting it's "pretty much giving it away for free" at its price point, and it gained interest as a wishlist item after the positive review.

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.
