Diesel Bad/Bad Intense receives mixed community reception, with appreciation for its distinctive opening and versatility but criticism for an occasionally harsh dry-down. The fragrance appeals strongly to oud and niche fragrance enthusiasts while being a reliable choice for those seeking something unconventional, though it remains polarizing among broader audiences.

Ultra Male is a polarizing fragrance praised for its sweet scent and compliment-generating power in social settings, but criticized for being overly loud for daily/classroom wear and suffering from quality inconsistency across batches. The community advises careful consideration of use case, sampling before purchase, and avoiding newer PUIG Spain formulations if seeking the original performance.
