La comunità di r/fragrance ha un'opinione decisamente mista ma tendente al positivo riguardo a Toy Boy. Sebbene sia elogiato per la sua qualità, la composizione unica e il profilo audace che lo differenzia dai profumi mainstream come Sauvage, il punto di contesa dominante è la prominenza della nota di rosa e come persone diverse la percepiscono. Alcuni la trovano maschile e speziata con una rosa sottile, mentre altri la sperimentano come rosa-forward o saponata, rendendolo un profumo che dipende fortemente dalla chimica olfattiva individuale e dalle preferenze personali.
