Hypnotic Poison es una fragancia divisiva con admiradores devotos y escépticos. Mientras que las formulaciones antiguas fueron elogiadas por su profundidad y longevidad, los lotes recientes son notoriamente más débiles y han sido reformulados. El perfil gourmand de la fragancia (almendra, vainilla) atrae a algunos, pero las notas iniciales (frecuentemente descritas como cerveza de raíz, plastilina o caucho) resultan desagradables para otros, lo que la hace altamente dependiente de la química de la piel y las preferencias personales.

Strong projection and presence when it works well on skin chemistry
