Ashlemah is a powdery-violet fragrance that performs well for some but suffers from a common issue: ionones (the main aromachemicals in violet) cause rapid temporary anosmia in many people, making the scent fade quickly or be undetectable. Performance varies significantly based on individual anosmia susceptibility to violet aromachemicals.

Hypnotic Poison is a divisive fragrance with devoted fans and skeptics. While older formulations were praised for depth and longevity, recent batches are noticeably weaker and reformulated. The scent's gourmand profile (almond, vanilla) appeals to some but the initial notes (often described as root beer, playdough, or rubber) are off-putting to others, making it highly dependent on personal skin chemistry and preference.
