The r/fragrance community views Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee as having an attractive iris scent but severely marred by terrible performance and unpleasant skin scent characteristics. While some appreciate the fragrance profile itself, the combination of extremely short longevity and powdery baby wipe-like qualities on skin make it a generally disliked choice that requires constant reapplication to be wearable.

Mugler Alien is a divisive fragrance with a passionate but divided fanbase. While dedicated fans praise its distinctive jasmine character and strong performance, a significant portion of the community finds it overhyped, with the Goddess flanker particularly criticized for having an unpleasant sunscreen-like quality. The fragrance's polarizing nature makes it a risky blind buy despite its iconic status.
