La communauté r/fragrance tient Après l'Ondée en haute estime en tant que magnifique parfum classique de Guerlain avec une composition délicate de violette-iris-héliotrope. Bien que très apprécié pour sa qualité éthérée et son esthétique romantique, il est noté comme étant cher et souvent mal caractérisé comme un parfum de type pétrichor. Les flacons vintage sont particulièrement chéris et considérés comme méritant d'être préservés.
