Fresh Cream is appreciated for its comforting, gourmand scent profile and reasonable price, but the community consensus is overwhelmingly critical of its terrible performance and cheap-smelling undertones. Multiple users recommend the body lotion over the perfume, and suggest using this only as a bedtime scent or layering product rather than a standalone fragrance.

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.
