Songes vs Hypnotic Poison

Songes by Annick Goutal receives positive recognition within the r/fragrance community, particularly among white floral enthusiasts and serious collectors. The fragrance is praised for its natural-smelling sweetness and beautiful floral progression, though it has limited direct discussion compared to other fragrances in shared collections.

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.
