Secret Genius by Pinrose is highly praised by the community as a delicious, long-lasting gourmand fragrance that appeals strongly to vanilla and caramel lovers. However, its discontinuation and premium price point make it increasingly difficult for interested users to purchase, leading to frustration among fans trying to find it.

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.
