The r/fragrance community has a largely negative consensus on Liam by Lattafa, with disappointed blind buyers noting it smells nothing like advertised (heavy patchouli and church-like incense instead of promised cinnamon and vanilla). While the packaging impresses for the low price, the divisive scent profile and overpowering notes make it a polarizing fragrance that most reviewers regret purchasing, with some suggesting aging the bottle may help but many finding no improvement.

By the Fireplace receives mixed community sentiment, with users recognizing it as a distinctive fragrance that works best in specific contexts. While some appreciate its unique character, the consensus suggests it's primarily suited for evening or casual wear rather than office environments, and requires careful application to avoid overwhelming those nearby.
