The community is deeply disappointed by Malaia's discontinuation after Hollister's fragrance line overhaul. Many loyal customers wore it for 13-20+ years and are actively searching for alternatives. The Common Scents dupe has emerged as the closest replacement, scoring 9/10 for similarity, though fans express hope for an official Hollister relaunch.

Hypnotic Poison is a divisive fragrance with devoted fans and skeptics. While older formulations were praised for depth and longevity, recent batches are noticeably weaker and reformulated. The scent's gourmand profile (almond, vanilla) appeals to some but the initial notes (often described as root beer, playdough, or rubber) are off-putting to others, making it highly dependent on personal skin chemistry and preference.
