Unknown Pleasures by Kerosene generates modest interest within the r/fragrance community, with members curious about its potential for layering and appreciation for unconventional American fragrance houses. However, there is limited consensus and discussion about the fragrance itself, making it difficult to establish strong community opinions on its overall performance and suitability.

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.
