The r/fragrance community views Palatine as a refined niche fragrance that appeals to those seeking complexity beyond mainstream offerings, though its subtle nature and quick anosmia present drawbacks for some users. It's recommended primarily for those who appreciate delicate, sophisticated scents rather than bold projection.

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.
