The r/fragrance community has mixed enthusiasm for Matcha Meditation, viewing it as a promising Tea Escape successor with appealing fresh opening notes. However, concerns about tea fragrances causing headaches and the white chocolate base potentially clashing with matcha, combined with reports of the matcha note being short-lived, temper overall excitement. It appeals specifically to tea fragrance lovers but may disappoint those seeking a true matcha scent throughout the wear cycle.

Libre receives mixed community reception, with particular criticism directed at the Intense version. While some find it versatile and wearable, others describe it as harsh and overpowering, making proper application important for enjoyment.
