Narcotic Venus est un parfum floral intensément polarisant avec un développement impressionnant et une excellente tenue qui se transforme d'une ouverture douce en un nuage enivrant de tubéreuse et de fleurs blanches. Bien que les membres de la communauté louent sa sensualité addictive et sa performance, il est unanimement considéré comme trop puissant et rebutant pour les environnements professionnels, ce qui le rend idéal pour les occasions du soir et intimes.

Stunning floral development with intense tuberose, jasmine, and lily in heart phase
Excellent longevity with 7+ hours total wear time
Unique, addictive scent with impressive projection once it develops
Négatif
Not suitable for work or professional environments due to intense projection
Weak initial opening with minimal performance when dabbed

Hypnotic Poison est un parfum qui divise avec ses fans dévoués et ses sceptiques. Alors que les anciennes formulations étaient louées pour leur profondeur et leur tenue, les lots récents sont noticeably plus faibles et reformulés. Le profil gourmand du parfum (amande, vanille) plaît à certains, mais les notes initiales (souvent décrites comme du root beer, de la pâte à modeler ou du caoutchouc) rebutent d'autres, ce qui en fait un parfum très dépendant de la chimie cutanée personnelle et des préférences individuelles.
Positif
Long-lasting drydown with beautiful vanilla and almond notes
Unique gourmand scent that appeals to those who enjoy sweet fragrances
Strong projection and presence when it works well on skin chemistry
EDP version smoother and sexier than EDT formulation
Négatif
Recent reformulations significantly weaker and less deep than older bottles
