Colors de Benetton is remembered positively by the fragrance community as a distinctive 90s scent that creates strong nostalgic memories for those who wore it. However, the primary frustration is that it's discontinued and difficult to locate, with no satisfactory dupes identified by the community, leaving fans searching for alternatives without success.

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.
