Acne Studios by Frederic Malle is appreciated for its fresh, clean, and sophisticated character with impressive longevity, and most agree it's a quality unisex fragrance. However, the community consensus is that the high price point (£290-€340+) is difficult to justify, with many deterred by its detergent-like character and synthetic drydown, leading several to seek cheaper alternatives or dupes.

Byredo Blanche is a polarizing fragrance that divides the community. While some appreciate its clean laundry aesthetic and use it as a subtle office scent, many find the aldehydic opening aggressively soapy and synthetic, comparing it to detergent or cleaning products. The fragrance is frequently criticized as overpriced given its linear nature, with cheaper alternatives like Moschino Toy 2 available.
