The r/fragrance community views Vanilla Fields as a charming nostalgic fragrance that holds sentimental value for those who wore it in the 1990s. While appreciated for its role in introducing wearers to vanilla-based scents and its attractive vintage packaging, it's generally considered dated and lacking in performance compared to modern alternatives.

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.
