Which Should You Buy?
Seriously, just buy Encre Noire. This clone is a bit pointless when the original is so affordable and does the job so well. You'll spend more time explaining this is a dupe than actually enjoying it.
This one is a hidden gem for the price, a surprisingly nuanced woody-aromatic that punches above its weight. It's a crowd-pleaser that manages to feel a bit sophisticated without trying too hard.

Its intensely woody and earthy profile makes it a bit too bold for a typical office setting. This fragrance sits better in cooler, more composed environments, lending itself to evening wear or formal occasions where its distinctive character can make an impression without overwhelming.

Occasions
Its versatile woody-aromatic profile makes it suitable for daily wear, blending into office environments without being too dominant. It's a great casual choice and could work for an understated date, but lacks the gravitas for formal events or the freshness for sport.
