FiDi is a highly polarizing fragrance with a divisive chemical profile that many find off-putting (resembling mothballs or cleaning products), while others appreciate its unique and audacious character. The scent lacks traditional fragrance notes and appears to perform very differently across various skin chemistries, making it genuinely underrated for the right wearer but unsuitable for most mainstream preferences.

Layton is a well-crafted, versatile fragrance with strong performance that genuinely appeals to many in the community, but it remains highly divisive due to its premium $285 price tag that many feel is unjustified compared to cheaper alternatives like Spicebomb Extreme. The scent requires sampling before purchase as it's a polarizing fragrance that either wins people over gradually or disappoints them entirely.
