Frapin Speakeasy receives divided opinions in the community. While some genuinely love the fragrance and find it memorable, others find it excessively sweet and cloying, with immortelle and tonka overpowering the initial fresh lime opening. The main criticism is that it doesn't authentically capture speakeasy character, leaning instead toward a overly-sweetened gourmand profile that some describe as generic.

Tobacco Vanille is a highly polarizing fragrance that divides the community. Fans praise its warm vanilla sweetness and longevity, while detractors find the tobacco note too reminiscent of cigarette smoke, particularly if they grew up avoiding secondhand smoke. Performance and tolerance appear to have declined with reported reformulations.
