Inflorescence is praised by the community as a beautiful, versatile white floral that appeals to a broad audience, but it's consistently criticized for weak performance that limits its practical wearability. The fragrance works well for those prioritizing scent quality and versatility over longevity, but disappointed purchasers often resort to layering it with woodier scents to reduce its heavy floral character.

Mugler Alien is a divisive fragrance with a passionate but divided fanbase. While dedicated fans praise its distinctive jasmine character and strong performance, a significant portion of the community finds it overhyped, with the Goddess flanker particularly criticized for having an unpleasant sunscreen-like quality. The fragrance's polarizing nature makes it a risky blind buy despite its iconic status.
