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.

Strong projection and presence when it works well on skin chemistry
