Cherry Ambition receives significant criticism from the r/fragrance community for containing a harsh synthetic aromachemical (likely modern superambbers or similar woody amber compounds) that creates an unpleasant, metallic nosefeel and overpowers the composition. Multiple users report the same negative reaction to this ingredient, making it problematic for those sensitive to these modern synthetics commonly used in contemporary fragrances.

By the Fireplace receives mixed community sentiment, with users recognizing it as a distinctive fragrance that works best in specific contexts. While some appreciate its unique character, the consensus suggests it's primarily suited for evening or casual wear rather than office environments, and requires careful application to avoid overwhelming those nearby.
