Dear Polly est adoré par ceux qui apprécient les fragrances à base de thé et la trouvent sensuelle et bien composée, avec d'excellentes performances sur certains types de peau. Cependant, le consensus communautaire est que la faible tenue et la projection rapprochée, combinées à son prix premium, rendent difficile de la justifier comme un achat en format complet. La fragrance brille particulièrement comme parfum d'été pour un port intime ou lorsqu'elle est superposée avec des fragrances lumineuses complémentaires.
