The community views Kate Walsh Boyfriend positively as a well-crafted celebrity fragrance with warm amber, vanilla, and spice notes that leans unisex. However, users express disappointment that the original formula was reformulated upon relaunch, with the new version smelling noticeably different, making the sought-after original difficult to obtain without paying secondhand market premiums.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
