Oriana is perceived as a pleasant, attractive gourmand fragrance with aesthetic appeal, but the community consensus reflects disappointment with its poor performance relative to its high price point. Most discussion centers on seeking cheaper alternatives or better-performing dupes rather than praising the fragrance itself.

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.
