Perfect Intense divides the community significantly, with some genuinely loving its creamy jasmine profile while others find it sour, migraine-inducing, and a letdown compared to the original Perfect. The fragrance appears highly subjective and skin-dependent, with consistent criticism focused on the unattractive bottle design rather than universal scent complaints.

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.
