Phantom is a divisive fragrance with a loyal minority who enjoy its sweet tropical character and strong performance, but the broader community criticizes it for a weak drydown, generic sweetness, and misleading marketing. While commercially successful, it's considered creatively uninspired compared to other Paco Rabanne releases.

Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum receives divided opinions from the community. While some appreciate it as a smoother, less cloying version of the original EDT with better refinement, others find it develops an off-putting salty character and still lacks a unique identity. Overall sentiment is cautiously positive but with notable reservations about its distinctive appeal.
