Supreme Vanilla vs Hypnotic Poison

Supreme Vanilla is appreciated by the r/fragrance community as an affordable, accessible fragrance that serves well as a layering component and vanilla scent, though the ink note it supposedly contains is subtle and not always detectable. Most discussion centers on using it to create dupes for more expensive fragrances like Celine Black Tie rather than wearing it standalone.

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.
