Blondine vs Hypnotic Poison

Frassai is a small Argentine niche house with strong appeal among fragrance enthusiasts, particularly for its landscape-evoking compositions and wearability. While Blondine specifically receives mixed feedback due to its buttery caramel note, the brand overall is praised for quality and sophistication, though limited availability makes sampling challenging.

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.
