The r/fragrance community holds Donna Karan fragrances (particularly Black Cashmere and DK Men) in high regard for their unique, memorable character that few modern fragrances replicate. However, discontinued products and scarcity issues frustrate fans, with resale prices reaching prohibitive levels. The newer Cashmere line is generating renewed interest and optimism about the brand's return to relevance.

Arpège is regarded by the community as a cherished classic fragrance with strong collector appeal, particularly in vintage formulations. Enthusiasts value its historical significance and superior quality compared to modern releases, though acquisition and preservation of vintage bottles remain a challenge.
