Commodity Velvet is well-regarded by those who have tried it, praised as a sophisticated smoky-sweet fragrance with roasted almond, rose, and amber notes that improves upon similar fragrances. However, the brand's apparent discontinuation has left fans struggling to find it or locate adequate alternatives, making it a beloved but increasingly inaccessible choice for the community.

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.
