Signature vs Hypnotic Poison

The r/fragrance community views Montblanc Signature as a solid, reliable daily fragrance with impressive longevity and a pleasant creamy vanilla profile. While appreciated for its professional versatility and good performance, it's generally regarded as a straightforward, crowd-pleasing fragrance rather than something particularly distinctive or special.

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.
