The r/fragrance community views Gentle Fluidity Gold as a well-crafted, addictive fragrance with a luxurious marshmallow-like character and excellent balance between sweetness and elegance. While widely praised and recommended for sampling, some find it too feminine or overly sweet for regular rotation, but most agree it's worth experiencing at least in sample form.

Black Opium by YSL is recognized by the r/fragrance community as a popular statement fragrance choice, particularly mentioned as an example of a bold evening scent. While it has dedicated fans who appreciate its strong projection and distinctive character, the community acknowledges it's polarizing and not suitable for everyday or versatile wear, with some finding it overly sweet or artificial depending on skin chemistry.
