Valentino Donna לעומת Hypnotic Poison

Valentino Donna receives mixed reviews from the r/fragrance community. While some appreciate its pleasant heavenly scent and versatility for layering, the fragrance is widely criticized for its poor longevity, lasting only 2-3 hours. The scent is generally considered feminine-leaning, though some members successfully wear it regardless of gender, with the overall consensus being that it's a decent casual fragrance hampered by performance issues.

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.
