Hypnotic Poison ist ein polarisierendes Parfum mit treuen Fans und Skeptikern. Während ältere Formulierungen für ihre Tiefe und Haltbarkeit gelobt wurden, sind neuere Chargen deutlich schwächer und reformuliert. Das Gourmand-Profil des Duftes (Mandel, Vanille) spricht einige an, aber die Kopfnoten (oft beschrieben als Wurzelbier, Knete oder Gummi) sind für andere abstoßend, was ihn stark von der persönlichen Hautchemie und den Vorlieben abhängig macht.
