Vanillary is a highly polarizing Lush fragrance with devoted fans who find it a comforting, long-lasting vanilla scent, but equally vocal detractors who experience off-putting urine, yeast, or beer-like notes due to skin chemistry variations. The fragrance's performance appears inconsistent, with some attributing this to formula changes between the solid and current tin versions, making it a true "try before you buy" product.

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.
