Tagete is well-regarded as a quality Profumum Roma fragrance with beautiful floral notes, but community opinions are divided on whether it delivers the bright, herbaceous marigold experience some seek. Buyers report batch variation and note that it performs as a sweet, airy floral rather than a sharp, green scent.

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.

EDP version smoother and sexier than EDT formulation
