Shea לעומת Hypnotic Poison

The Body Shop's Shea is appreciated by its loyal user base as an accessible, wearable everyday fragrance with emotional significance. However, the fragrance community has limited detailed discussion about it, and its discontinuation due to store closures has left fans searching for alternatives with difficulty.

Hypnotic Poison is a divisive fragrance with devoted fans and skeptics. While older formulations were praised for depth and longevity, recent batches are noticeably weaker and reformulated. The scent's gourmand profile (almond, vanilla) appeals to some but the initial notes (often described as root beer, playdough, or rubber) are off-putting to others, making it highly dependent on personal skin chemistry and preference.
