French Kiss by Guerlain is regarded as an amazing powdery violet fragrance with a lipsticky quality that appeals to fresh floral enthusiasts, particularly those seeking mature, powdery makeup-inspired scents. However, the community consensus is tempered by the fragrance's significant availability issues and discontinuation status, making it difficult for interested buyers to purchase or test it.

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.
