Neandertal's "Dark" is appreciated by the r/fragrance community primarily for its distinctive bottle design and experimental approach to contemporary perfumery. While the scent itself is recognized as challenging and non-traditional rather than universally wearable, the community respects the artistic vision and considers it a worthwhile experience for adventurous fragrance collectors.

Squid is a polarizing niche fragrance that successfully delivers on its oceanic, briny concept, but doesn't work well on all skin types—some find it transforms into unpleasant suntan lotion. Community consensus is mixed, with strong musk presence being a point of contention for those seeking alternatives without it.
