Lush Karma receives mixed community reception, primarily praised as an affordable daily wear with a pleasant warm spice and citrus profile. While some appreciate its accessibility and layering potential, the fragrance lacks the passionate endorsement seen for premium patchouli-forward fragrances, suggesting it occupies a modest position in the community's hierarchy of noteworthy scents.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
