The scent is appreciated by those seeking bold, unconventional fragrances, though some note it may be too challenging or intense for mainstream wearers. Community members recommend trying the Boy Smells discovery set as a cost-effective way to sample the fragrance.

Hinoki Fantome receives polarized opinions from the community.
