Community opinions on Candy Yum-Yum are limited but mixed, with wearers appreciating its sweet, cake-like scent quality but consistently criticizing its poor longevity. While some partners enjoy the fragrance, its short lifespan makes it impractical for full-day wear despite its pleasant initial impression.

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.
