The r/fragrance community holds Vanille Blackberry in moderate regard, with praise focused on its impressive longevity and unique dry, woody vanilla character that appeals broadly. However, users consistently note it performs better in cooler weather and can feel overwhelming in heat, limiting its versatility as an everyday fragrance.

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.
