The community is divided on Après l'Amour No. 4, with some finding it evocative and living up to its hype, while others find the chemical/dental office notes acrid and unpleasant. Opinions are heavily influenced by batch variation, with older versions praised as more rounded and newer versions criticized for worse performance and a weird opening.

Red Tobacco is praised for outstanding longevity and performance, with a beautiful warm, sweet drydown that improves significantly after the harsh opening. However, the community is divided on projection strength and questions the quality of the tobacco note itself, with many suggesting superior alternatives exist. It works best for those willing to tolerate a rough opening in exchange for all-day wear.
