Jasmin Noir vs Hypnotic Poison

The r/fragrance community holds the original Jasmin Noir in high regard as a distinctive jasmine fragrance with warmth and depth that resonates personally with wearers. However, frustration centers on its discontinuation and replacement with the notably different Splendida version, which many feel was poorly communicated by Bvlgari as a simple 'upgrade' rather than a reformulation.

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.
