A comunidade do r/fragrance tem uma visão decididamente mista, mas tendendo ao positivo, sobre Toy Boy. Embora seja elogiado pela sua qualidade, composição única e perfil ousado que o diferencia de fragrâncias mainstream como Sauvage, o ponto de contenda dominante é a proeminência da nota de rosa e como as pessoas a percebem de forma tão diferente. Alguns a acham masculina e especiada com rosa sutil, enquanto outros a experimentam como rosa-forward ou sabonada, tornando-a uma fragrância que depende muito da química nasal individual e das preferências pessoais.
