The r/fragrance community has divided opinions on ylang-ylang, with many passionate advocates praising its luxurious, fruity-floral character, while others find it polarizing due to its banana, rubber, or cleaning product associations. The consensus acknowledges that perception of the note is highly subjective and greatly influenced by which extraction fraction is used in a given fragrance.

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.
