The community consensus on Madagascar Vanilla is lukewarm, with the main complaint being that it smells nothing like vanilla despite the name - instead delivering coconut, buttered popcorn, and nutty notes. While some appreciate the buttery aspect for layering purposes, most users felt disappointed by blind-buying and recommend testing in-store first before committing to a purchase.

Cheirosa '59 is widely viewed negatively by the community despite having an intriguing concept on paper. Multiple users find it unbearable to actually wear, with the consensus being that while it may spark curiosity, it falls flat in practical wearability.
