Super Cedar is appreciated by some as a subtle, understated office fragrance with a pleasant warmth, but many find it too simple and expensive for its straightforward composition. Several users report detecting harsh synthetic woody notes or alcohol in the opening, making decant sampling recommended before committing to a full bottle.

Santal 33 is a highly polarizing fragrance with passionate fans and equally strong detractors. While those who love it praise its woody, creamy sandalwood character, the community consensus warns against wearing it to professional settings due to its extreme projection and divisive scent profile that many perceive as pickle-like or overly synthetic. It remains a popular but controversial choice best reserved for personal enjoyment outside the workplace.
