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.

Xerjoff Lira is a polarizing gourmand fragrance that impresses devoted fans with its delicious cake-like scent, interesting supporting notes, and strong projection, but frustrates others with its cloying sweetness, play-doh undertones, and high price-to-performance ratio. Community consensus is that it's excellent for gourmand enthusiasts who enjoy extremely sweet fragrances and don't mind moderate longevity, but requires careful sampling before purchase.
