I don't wear Encre Noir when I leave the house because it's really not everyone's cup of tea, but when I'm spending a day alone at home it's one I enjoy just for myself. Also Aqua Essenziale Blue reminds me of a more mature Dylan Blue, not BDC, and is a great value at it's price.

I wear it at work and it's a favourite for a few of the chicks there. I found a 200ml bottle for £50 and jumped straight on it.

If there is one fragrance that I could throw in the trash everytime I smelled it, it would be Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver. That one makes me gag everytime I smell it. I don't know why. It triggers the same reaction in my throat that old fish does (Think Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Bean Fish Flavored if you ever had the joy of trying that one out - they replaced it with pepper which is saying something).

The ones I got rid of in the last year. All cheapies thankfully: Rochas Moustache - Got it for a good price. Smelled good on a mate of mine, not on me. Sold it to a colleague. Bait Al Bakhoor - Tohfa Blue - It was cheap, I'd had a few beers, I added it to the cart. It smelled plastic. Like, not OF plastic... just not real. Sold it to a colleague. Armaf - Tag Him - Not bad to be honest. Was on a bit of a blue hunt at the time. Found Missoni Pour Homme and Armaf Iconic to be nicer. Gave it to my cousin. Lattafa - Qaa'ed - I like this one. I really do. Third time I wore it though... Yeah. Let's just say it brings back some bad memories. Bin. I don't want to smell it on anyone! Lattafa - Raghba Wood Intense - Another one I love but I can't find an appropriate time to wear it. It's been removed from the fragrance carousel and is in a drawer until I work out what I want to do with it.

Encre Noire is niche. The whole line is. It's because they're cheapies it gets trashed right away. You gotta' love the that line like you gotta' love the genre and culture it embodies in movies, music, and design. It evokes and elicits a very particular mood.

One of my first blind buys(with Bentley for men Intense) and probably the reason I went down this rabbit hole 180+ bottles and god knows how many samples later I still reach out for it when the weather is gloomy and the mood just hits.

I went through the same experience with many cheapie fragrances. They collected dust, I sold them as my collection expanded. I went back and purchased a few of them again. And again same outcome I didn't wear them that much. One thing I've learned about having a fragrance collection is that once you have purchased the top tier fragrances, the cheapies will not ever get the job done no matter how much they are hyped up. But I'll give you a few that I bought again after disregarding them as trash but actually kept around for good. Here goes- Versace pour Homme, Dylan blue, Missoni Wave, Jimmy Choo ice and man intense..Now I'll give you one that I kept only for the purpose of using it as an air freshener and that is afnan Turathi Blue. I think it's garbage as a fragrance but as an air freshener it does the trick.

Appreciate you taking in some Risk with this topic Nate. Out of the 35 or so fragrances I've sold off in the past 3 months the only one I've had some second thoughts about would be Allure Homme Sport eau Extreme. It never really vibed with me when I had it but lately there have been some occasions where I wanted to reach for it. Oh well I actually also got rid of Victory Elixir for the same reason, way too overwhelmingly resinous and strong. The Most Wanted EDP also was way too sickening sweet, tried wearing it twice got a headache both times but ended up swapping it for TMW Parfum and it's perfect for me. Heh I actually looove Aqva Atlatique.😂 It's such a deep blue ocean, extremely salty Aquatic very Ambroxan heavy so yeah it does have a very shower gel feel but I guess I like frags like that especially in warm weather. Also why don't you try getting Office for me through the 2nd hand market on eBay or Reddit?

CDNIM EDT=🤢🤮 That whole… “the nasty harshness goes away after the initial drydown” or “ you just have to let it macerate for a little bit”. All complete BS. I’ve had mine for over a year and it is still nasty. And I take no joy in saying this. Very odd, too, because when I first got it, before I sprayed it even once, when I smelled the atomizer, it was like… OMG this is aromatic perfection. Not sure what happened after it was sprayed, but it is complete harshy trash. I even hesitate to use it as a bathroom spray. Having said all that, I probably will eventually get the EDP or one of the other flankers.

I can definetly understand how Encre Noir wouldn't be someone's cup of tea but the direction you came from when you criticized the scent was simple minded, to put it politely. Quality is quality, one, ten or a hundred years from now. You are mixing up the words quality with diversity or uniqueness my man. Just because there is more diversity now doesn't take away from the quality of something else that was done earlier.

Just because something is made with care and high quality ingredients does not mean it is worth it to everyone. Let me explain. A couple comments down I touched on making the comparison to movies. Let's say you like romantic comedies, and let's say there's a war movie that just came out and it is filmed really well, the makeup is on point, the lighting is amazing, the direction is great. But you could care less because you don't like war movies. And if somebody asks you how you like the movie and you tell them all of the reasons you didn't like the movie. It's really not going to change someone's mind explaining that it was shot really well, it was edited perfectly. The story was on point. Because at the end of the day you didn't like the film. Same thing with this, I could say all of the reasons I don't like a fragrance and there's a million other reasons why I could like the fragrance. It's all art and art is not meant for everyone. 2 to 3 months later, you're not going to say let's go watch that war movie. You're going to watch a romantic comedy, something you actually want to watch. Hopefully that explains my standpoint on it.

@@ParagonFragrances The analogy is good, there is absolutely nothing wrong in constructive criticism in regards to anything, fragrances included. Infact its a breath of fresh air in fragcom that tends to "like everything". Having said that, it has to be formulated objectively, as long as a sense of professionalism is desired. Even in your analogy you brought up quality, and its undeniable in Encre Noire's case too. Quality is a factor that has to be considered and aknowledged even if the end result is not to your taste. So labeling it trash wasn't too elegant, unless it was meant as clickbait or triggerbait in which case it kinda worked :P. But i think i know what you wanted to say in the first place. Encre Noire has gotten its hype and its only appeal to some was the price/quality ratio that was more rare back then, then it is now, considering what fragrances are being released today for similar prices. And i would agree with that point, Encre Noire is no longer one of the few fragrances with a great price / quality ratio out there so it shouldn't be the only point it is judged on.

I'm with you on Acqua Essenziale Blu, Nate. I heard Ross praising it for years, and so I finally caved and bought a bottle. Initially, I wrote it off as being pretty basic. After I came back to it awhile later, I completely flipped and thought it was an amazing buy, considering the price. 6 months later, I sold the bottle and I'm somewhere in the middle, in that it's a decent blue cheapie for the price, but it's definitely nothing amazing.

Can anything truly be trashed? I found that when something is allowed to mature with the cap off, the fragrance becomes otherworldly. Sometimes the change can be strange. It's still a wonderful experience to evolve with a scent, though.

exactly...just because something isn't appealing to one doesn't make it TRASH worthy...donate, sell or gift it. I really wish people would stop bashing fragrances they have never encountered just off the review of a content creator or random commenter. EVERY person's olfactory senses are unique to that person and your sense of smell is trained through life to notice certain scents more than others if we have things that we are partial to smelling. Mi wife never smells what I smell with my frags and vice versa on hers. Its a big beautiful scented world and we should take time to enjoy it one sniff at a time!!

I would argue it isn't rubbish. I call these type of frags "Situational". Such as, I'm going to a traditional Irish Pub in New England this St. Patrick's Day. Bentley For Men Intense is the PERFECT Frag for the situation. Smells like whiskey, projection monster (on me), and has that sweet smell girls enjoy.
