Vanille Fatale is highly regarded for its elegant, complex vanilla with excellent longevity and a beautiful dry down that garners compliments. However, the community is divided on whether the premium Tom Ford pricing is justified, and some find the initial sweetness or incense notes off-putting. Many seek affordable alternatives or dupes rather than purchasing the full-priced original.

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.
