Die r/fragrance-Community hat eine deutlich gemischte, aber eher positive Meinung zu Toy Boy. Während die Qualität, die einzigartige Komposition und das mutige Profil, das es von Mainstream-Düften wie Sauvage unterscheidet, gelobt werden, ist der Hauptpunkt der Kontroverse die Prominenz der Rosenote und wie unterschiedlich Menschen sie wahrnehmen. Einige finden sie maskulin und würzig mit subtiler Rose, während andere sie als rosendomimant oder seifig empfinden, was Toy Boy zu einem Duft macht, der stark von der individuellen Nasenchimie und den persönlichen Vorlieben abhängt.
