The Original Penguin fragrance line is generally viewed as underrated by the r/fragrance community, offering solid performance and good longevity at budget-friendly prices typically found at discount retailers. While not all fragrances in the line are equally impressive, Original Blend, Iconic Blend, and Premium Blend are particularly recommended for their quality-to-value ratio.

Starwalker is a unique, affordable fragrance with a distinctive sporty character that divides the community. While some appreciate its bamboo and starfruit notes, many find the synthetic aldehydes off-putting, and its poor longevity (2-3 hours) is a consistent complaint that deters repurchasing despite its low price point.
