Followed is a divisive fragrance praised for its pleasant gourmand scent but heavily criticized for its extreme potency and projection that make it impractical for social settings. The community consensus is that it smells nice but is genuinely "too much"—multiple users report unintended sillage affecting entire buildings and scent persisting on clothing for days or weeks, making it a curiosity piece rather than a wearable fragrance.

Nishane Ani is a polarizing fragrance that rewards patience and nose training, with many discovering its appeal only after repeated wears. While praised for quality vanilla and spice notes with strong projection, the opening is dominated by ginger and pepper that doesn't suit everyone, and longevity falls short of expectations for its price point and concentration.
