Benetton Hot/Cold is a budget-friendly fragrance that receives modest appreciation within the r/fragrance community, primarily noted for its affordability and surprising longevity. While it holds nostalgic value for some users who wore it in their youth, it remains a polarizing choice as people mature their fragrance preferences, with most moving toward higher-quality alternatives.

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.
