The r/fragrance community has divided opinions on this wishlist, with recommendations to skip certain fragrances like Kayali Vanilla 28 (synthetic) and Billie Eilish (cheap body spray feel), while praising alternatives like Creed Sublime Vanille and Chabaud fragrances. Multiple users advise testing extensively before purchasing, as skin chemistry heavily affects how these gourmand vanillas perform, and longevity is a common concern across the board.

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.
