Datura Noir receives moderately positive community sentiment for its well-balanced, warm composition with subtle coconut and vanilla notes that work well in winter. However, the fragrance is frequently criticized for weak longevity and an underwhelming dry down, which limits its overall appeal despite its pleasant initial performance.

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.
