Reviews
According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Success smells like "soap" and is "reminiscent of a fashion magazine that contains too many perfume ads."
Controversy
In 2012, petitions and protests requested that Macy's "Dump Trump," e.g., stop selling Success and other Trump products due to his statements on topical issues such as climate change and President Obama's citizenship status.
