La Pluie vs Hypnotic Poison

La Pluie and other fragrances in this collection receive enthusiastic community praise for their uniqueness and spring-appropriate character. While the collection is admired for its versatility and thoughtful curation, some users note that lavender fragrances can skew masculine and reformulations may have reduced longevity. Overall, the community expresses strong interest in trying these unusual perfumes despite their premium pricing.

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.
