Royal Mystery is viewed as a solid, affordable work fragrance that performs well with longevity, though it requires restrained application in food service and hospitality roles. The community consensus is positive but emphasizes the importance of application method and context over 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.
