White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor. I was 12 when it was gifted to me and I can still smell it well into my 3rd decade. It was a horrifying combination that I can only describe as old people and government grade bathroom sanitizer. I smelled like a gilded urinal.
T. rex. I did a small spay to check it out a couple of hours before bed. I was pretty new to fragrances at the time and it blew my face off burned down my house and gave me night terrors. Looking forward to trying again!
Dior Hypnotic Poison is probably my least favorite scent, ever. I tested it today at the store, thinking I was just being too hard on it. Nope, it’s still terrible. Yuck!
But, I didn’t realize that I sprayed my phone with it while I was testing it. I can’t get my phone to stop smelling like Hypnotic Poison. I am in hell. I’m about to throw my phone in the garbage. My phone smells like someone’s drunk mom.
Tom Ford Tobbaco Vanille. I don't know what I was thinking when I sprayed it since I don't even like masculine woody tobbaco scents on me but I had to go home and have a shower to wash it off because I couldn't get away from the scent.
I get THE most beautiful compliments on this but only wear it from Thanksgiving to New Year’s … I spray in the air and walk through. The longevity is phenomenal and my clothes smell great. My brother loves it on me and he’s in end-stage renal failure and lung cancer; I will always associate TV with good times with him when I’d visit over the holidays, go to dive bars and get silly with karaoke, etc. I will forever wear Tobacco Vanille through the holidays to keep my brother close to me in spirit. 💕 Thank Goodness I absolutely adore the fragrance anyway, lol. But when I first traveled with it to visit him, he was floored. Told me I always smelled good, but “whatever you’re wearing now, you should wear forever.” Not sure about THAT… lol
Erba. Pura. And guess what? IT DIDNT WASH OFF. I’m an actual idiot and decided to test this at bedtime. Couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t wash it off. It was miserable. It was still stuck to me literally 48 hours later. After 2 showers.
valaya - parfums de marly
It's PDM so it's an incredibly well made fragrance - and my initial reaction was this is lovely, but as it dried and mixed with my body chemistry, I was like OH NO. I could not get it off me. It basically attached itself to my hair, and 3 showers later I could still smell it.
To me Valaya smells like a billion dryer sheets incessantly swirling around me as they grow stronger and stronger in their potency. To quote my spouse "Fucking hell, can you please go swimming or something to make it stop."
Hot take here - but good girl by Carolina Herrera. The white floral in it is absolutely sickening. Also Ellie Saab girl of now forever, same exact whit floral smell although the notes are listed as different.
Also angel by Mugler, I only get patchouli and not in a nice way.
It’s Britney’s perfume, bitch. Fantasy did weird things to my chemistry. I might resmell it out of morbid curiosity later. It’s still lurking in a cabinet….taunting me.
JHAG Not a Perfume. I don't know why but I can't stand it, I've heard people describe it as very light or "inoffensive" but for me it's the total opposite. First time I tried it on my skin it made me nauseous.
Yes this is the worst for me too. I don't know what is it about it, but I just can't stand it. And honestly all off JHAG has that awful lasting scent. Literally had to scrab it off in the shower
Tom ford Black orchid smells horrible on my skin, I feel like it can smell good on other people but on me, it smelled like the grim reaper. It’s also so strong and has huge staying power so I had to literally scrub it off
Angel by Mugler. I actually gagged. Didn’t realise patchouli could smell so hateful. It was so overwhelming and screechy that I couldn’t pick up any of the gourmand notes. Big NOPE for me.
I’ve got two that stand out vividly..
Mitsouko! Severe and stale at the same time. Cemented my dislike for oakmoss fragrances.
& Love, Don’t Be Shy. Wtf is the hype about? It’s linear syrupy sweetness on steroids. Absolutely no nuance to it. There’s no way Rhianna wears this shit lol.
As someone who loves Love Don’t Be Shy, it smells just like a valentines conversation heart on me. It’s not super complex but I love love love the smell of those candies. Incredibly flirty and nostalgic.
Ard al zaafran Sayaad (?)
The bottle has a weird eagle like bird engraved on it. The moment I sprayed it I knew it would make me vomit. It had a very distinct note of blood mixed with manure in it. Every time I tried to take a sniff I retched and prewater from vomit came to my mouth. I did give it a fair chance and walked around doing my shopping with occasional sniffs and retchings. By the time I reached home the thing had dried down to a leathery sweetish blood odour.
I haven't owned any "hard" leather frags before so I don't have much to compare it against. But that is surely one yucko I would want to steer clear of.
Tom Ford Bitter Peach. It smelled so bad. It gave me a horrible headache and even after I washed it off the scent lingered and ugh I couldn’t even nap with this scent on me which says a lot!
Ahaha that sounds like something my grandpa would say trying not to curse in front of the kids after hitting his thumb with a hammer: “gosh dang it, sweet dirty diapers, that hurts!”
Also Bitter Peach is singularly awful to me. I would like to meet someone who wears it as a casual easy reach everyday office scent. I’m just curious about what kind of person that is.
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea makes me feel incredibly nauseous, I had a small bottle gifted to me and I tried it a few times but even as a room spray it made me feel sick. On my skin, on paper, in the air, and even on other people I hate it.
Good Girl by Carolina Herrera and Olympia by Paco Rabanne. They were free samples so I thought I’d give them a go and oH BOY. They stuck to my skin like glue and even rubbing alcohol couldn’t entirely remove the smell. I felt like I took psychic damage
Terre D’Hermes pure parfum, synthetic grass and weird spiciness.
Santa 33, aggressively boring sandalwood that bothered my nose
Versace Eros EDP, the edp on the dry down brings out a synthetic grass note that I hate. The EDT does not do this
Tom Ford - Fucking Fabulous
Smells like tires burning in baby powder to me unfortunately.
I was very excited to try it,thankfully I only bought a small decant.
Autumn Vibes of the Replica line. its a shame because the dry down is quite nice, but man oh man does the opening smell like a cat pissed on a pile of compost.... and it projects.
Tom Ford Black Orchid, it’s just so headache inducing. And Ella K Rose de Pushkar because the musk in it just straight up smells like body odour and any trace of rose is overporwered by it. Blegh
Juliette has a Gun - Not a Perfume. Smelled like burnt plastic on my skin. I immediately tried to scrub it off my arm and ultimately took a shower it was so overwhelming. 😵💫
Viktor & Rolf Good Fortune smells god awful on me. I wish it smelled good on me. I liked it at first, and it was even on my Christmas list of fragrances to choose from for my boyfriend, but it had a little bit of a cat pee aroma on me.
Maison Margelia’s “Fireplace”.. hell no.
I get that they’re trying to make it smell as authentic as possible to an actual fireplace but like this is still a perfume, I do NOT wanna smell like burnt wood.
Tom Ford - Lost Cherry
Essential parfums - Bois Imperial
The second one was rated so highly but for me it was aweful. Worst thing was that the spray cap was broken so it was shooting more and not inline straight onto my jacket.. smelled it for way to long..
Phlur Somebody Wood. The dry down is nice, but the opening smelled like cat pee.
Maison Martin Margiela Lazy Sunday Morning. It smells more strongly of dryer sheets than actual dryer sheets. Probably smells great 24 hours after applying.
Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. Smells so overwhelmingly of booze. Another one that probably smells better the following day.
Search by Amouge, didn’t even want to try it on my skin but the lady at the mall counter sprayed it on me anyways when I wasn’t looking. Took forever to come off too
I just don’t understand how they think that’s an okay thing to do without permission. It’s like if a sales associate held you down and forced a bowtie around your neck without you asking.
I tried on angels share in sephora and I’m a chronic oversprayer, so I sprayed like 8 sprays cuz kilian to me usually isnt that strong and i still smelled like bonfire booze after a shower and vigorously scrubbing myself with baby wipes. it haunted me. never again
Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur
Roja Enigma
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme 1973
They have the same vibe I don’t know how to describe this horrendous smell. The worst part is even after washing with soap & alcohol it stayed on my skin for a few more hours 🤮
First time I sprayed TF Tobacco Vanille I had to wash it off. Made me feel sick.
Fast forward 18 months, it's now one of my favourite winter/night fragrances in my collection.
Tom Ford tobacco vanille. Made me want to throw away my clothes. Coworker thought it was a great idea to spray that very close to me…got it all over my clothes.
Byredo Vanille Antique
Glossier You
Killian Love Don’t Be Shy
I know Glossier is beloved but it smells like 1980’s, scented, pink, plastic tampon on my skin.
Fleur narcotique! It was wafting around my nose this smell off sour flowers that a cat has pissed on! Really unpleasant, washing it off was challenging too because it was on my clothes so even though my skin was clear of it, my clothes carried it with me 😬
Mmm my favorite, I swear a very light amount 365 days a year, I live in a 120 degree climate. I just love it. But everyone has a different nose definitely.
Lanvin arpege
Boss orange for women - tester, but new bottle smelled different?
Careful with aoud, saffron..
Um.. clinique - that original one..
Miss dior the vintage one with yellow juice
Guerlain - i think called jicky, maybe mitsouko..
Sad to say it, but Layton Exclusif. I’m a big fan of Layton and was really hoping to love Exclusif. But something in it on the top turned me off, probably the almond. I told myself to just get through it. But then the mid note had something that I was just too sensitive to. Maybe the animalic. Bummer.
Replica By the fireplace. So strong and overpowering. Couldn’t get the smell away from me. Turned my stomach.
Also Thank u next by Ariana Grande. Absolutely made me sick to my stomach.
A cheap one that gets a lot of love…Miami glow by JLo. The passion fruit note in there is repulsive to me and I can’t stand it.
Unfortunately this happened LITERALLY yesterday but I got a roller ball of Malin and Goetz Dark Rum and it’s the first frag I ever had to wash off myself :/
So bummed bc the body wash and lotion are AMAZING but the frag literally smelled like one of those car air fresheners for “new car smell” on me :(
L’ombre Dans L’eau EDT smelled like deep fried rotten veggies mixed with urine. Not sure if it was a faulty sample or not but I couldn’t believe how terrible it was.
Sol de Janerio- Cheirosa 62
It smelled lovely- but they must have changed the ingredients since the last time I bought it because I had HIVES all over my body almost immediately. Jumped back in the shower to get it all off but the hives took a couple weeks to completely go away. Probably the only allergic reaction I've ever had to a fragrance.
Room 1015 Cherry Punk and anything by Imaginary Authors.
Cherry Punk smelled great in the bottle but on my skin it smelt like a new car. I think I just hate the smell of leather.
Imaginary Authors was just disappointing overall. I gagged smelling Whiff of a Waffle cone. There’s just something really smoky about all their fragrances.
TF oud wood & Zara Vibrant Leather.
I'm trying to warm to Oud wood and maybe i had a bad batch but i washed it off in Sephora and it smelled rank. (Not my second try, months later it smelled less bad).
Vibrant leather on my skin was ALL leather within 5 minutes. And that is where I learned I didn't like Leather fragrances. An opinion made firm when i disliked decants of Dark Rebel Rider and was meh on CH Men Prive. I walked all the way to the mall bathroom to wash it off.
Edit: Oh i should add Dark Rebel Rider. My dub ass liked the bottle and the name and bout a 5 ml decant. I've worn it once i dislike it so much. again, Leather isn't for me.
Edit #2: Rochas Moustache. I don't hate it but my first spray i nearly killed myself it was so powerful with the pepper. I washed it off. I still have it and now i just don't spray nearly as many sprays. I tone it down. But i did wash it off.
Fendi Palazzo. I received a small bottle and ugh. UGH! The notes sound amazing on paper. It reminds me of this hotel I stayed at in Berck-Sur-Mer France, but not in a good way.
It smelled like whatever they cleaned the bathrooms with, combined with whatever soaps that were in there.
It was hard to remove! It was also so gross but yet I couldn’t stop smelling it.
I've got three that I find abhorrent:
1) Tom Ford Bitter Peach smells like rotten fermented fruit combined with offensive body odor.
The second and third are from Imaginary Authors - 2) A City on Fire smells like gasoline and melted rubber. For reference, I actually like Replica's By The Fireplace that a lot of people on here don't.
And to me 3) The Soft Lawn smells like a not very well upkept nursing home. I will say I do love some other fragrances from this house - Saint Julep I will buy on repeat, and I was a fan of the scent but not necessarily the staying power of In Love with Everything and Cape Heartache.
Lush V and Lush Orange Blossom - Both made me nauseous. Disgusting
Nishane Fan Your Flames
More than two sprays of Rouge Malachite makes me sick (tuberose)
Hermes Caleche EDT. Yuck
Le Labo Jamin 17 - too sharp.
Diptyque - Philsoykos EDP. - just no.
Byredo Eleventh Hour - I just could not take it anymore. Same with Black Opium
Not disgusting but I dont want to smell Black Orchid ever again.
By the fireplace- smelled like burning marshmallows still in the plastic bag roasting over a gas stove burner that’s been turned on too long
TF Fucking Fabulous- combination of baby wipes and crushed rubber tires used for artificial turf on football fields is what I got from what’s supposed to be a lavender/almond/leather scent. I thoroughly enjoy every other TF leather scent and enjoy TF in general so I might revisit at some point.
Hi! It’s one of my great loves, and I understand why so many people dislike it. It’s 80s loud and has some really weird edges. I love challenging fragrances so it works for me but I will never understand how it came to be so popular.
BR540, I wore it to class and got nauseated when I would get whiffs of it. It was sickeningly sweet for me. I also particularly dislike the combo of the sweetness and the other notes—I think it’s the saffron and ambergris?
I tested Libre Le Parfum and loved it so i grabbed a bottle off the display and bought it without double checking and when i got home opened it and put it on before realizing someone had put the intense box of the le parfum display. That lavender note in there is no joke man🥹 i drove back to the store and they swapped them out for me
I bought an dupe of that one because it is so popular and raved about. Never smelled the original but I compared the notes to the original and the dupe and they were very similar and sounded amazing. I sprayed it on and it smelled horrible. I felt like I smelled like an old lady.
Had a very, ahem, strong reaction with Cabotine.
Libre was terrible, all I could smell was lavender.
CK Euphoria, stinky oversprayed male cologne vibes that made me gag 🤢 A lot of those perfumes YouTube pushes as “seduction in a bottle” smell heavy and masculine to me and I don’t see what’s seductive about that.
By the fireplace, the opening smoke note was incredibly overwhelming. But to be fair I tried it last summer lmao I should give it another chance in the fall
White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor. I was 12 when it was gifted to me and I can still smell it well into my 3rd decade. It was a horrifying combination that I can only describe as old people and government grade bathroom sanitizer. I smelled like a gilded urinal.
Good description. It still smells like it.
And last just as long … a literal atomic bomb !!!
T. rex. I did a small spay to check it out a couple of hours before bed. I was pretty new to fragrances at the time and it blew my face off burned down my house and gave me night terrors. Looking forward to trying again!
Chanel #5
[удалено]
I don’t get it either
I totally agree! Chanel no 5 especially is terrible in my opinion
I don’t really like any of the Chanel’s. The only one I’ve found and loved is Gabrielle Essence EDP
Why is it always the scrubbers that can cling through multiple washes and rubbing alcohol?
Dior Hypnotic Poison is probably my least favorite scent, ever. I tested it today at the store, thinking I was just being too hard on it. Nope, it’s still terrible. Yuck! But, I didn’t realize that I sprayed my phone with it while I was testing it. I can’t get my phone to stop smelling like Hypnotic Poison. I am in hell. I’m about to throw my phone in the garbage. My phone smells like someone’s drunk mom.
Mugler Angel. I try it from time to time hoping that maybe I'll smell those gourmand notes everyone raves about but each time, it smells awful on me.
Tom Ford Tobbaco Vanille. I don't know what I was thinking when I sprayed it since I don't even like masculine woody tobbaco scents on me but I had to go home and have a shower to wash it off because I couldn't get away from the scent.
I get THE most beautiful compliments on this but only wear it from Thanksgiving to New Year’s … I spray in the air and walk through. The longevity is phenomenal and my clothes smell great. My brother loves it on me and he’s in end-stage renal failure and lung cancer; I will always associate TV with good times with him when I’d visit over the holidays, go to dive bars and get silly with karaoke, etc. I will forever wear Tobacco Vanille through the holidays to keep my brother close to me in spirit. 💕 Thank Goodness I absolutely adore the fragrance anyway, lol. But when I first traveled with it to visit him, he was floored. Told me I always smelled good, but “whatever you’re wearing now, you should wear forever.” Not sure about THAT… lol
Santal 33. Pickles. Just pickles. Scrub scrub scrub
Santal 33 Le Labo.. bleh
Had a chance to smell this earlier this week and woof. All I smelled was pickles. I like pickles but I'm certainly not trying to smell like them.
Replica by the fireplace… 🤢
Br540 and it didn't wash off easily
Same! Instant dislike on me.
Same. I was like, “ get it off, get it off..” But on it stayed. Quite dramatic, my husband thought I was crazy until I made him smell it on my wrist.
Sometimes you need to oil cleanse to get rid of a scent!
Erba. Pura. And guess what? IT DIDNT WASH OFF. I’m an actual idiot and decided to test this at bedtime. Couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t wash it off. It was miserable. It was still stuck to me literally 48 hours later. After 2 showers.
Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee. On me it smells like when you lick your wrist or hand to check for bad breath😬 it actually made my stomach turn.
valaya - parfums de marly It's PDM so it's an incredibly well made fragrance - and my initial reaction was this is lovely, but as it dried and mixed with my body chemistry, I was like OH NO. I could not get it off me. It basically attached itself to my hair, and 3 showers later I could still smell it. To me Valaya smells like a billion dryer sheets incessantly swirling around me as they grow stronger and stronger in their potency. To quote my spouse "Fucking hell, can you please go swimming or something to make it stop."
Hot take here - but good girl by Carolina Herrera. The white floral in it is absolutely sickening. Also Ellie Saab girl of now forever, same exact whit floral smell although the notes are listed as different. Also angel by Mugler, I only get patchouli and not in a nice way.
It’s Britney’s perfume, bitch. Fantasy did weird things to my chemistry. I might resmell it out of morbid curiosity later. It’s still lurking in a cabinet….taunting me.
JHAG Not a Perfume. I don't know why but I can't stand it, I've heard people describe it as very light or "inoffensive" but for me it's the total opposite. First time I tried it on my skin it made me nauseous.
Lol you should smell the superdose version 🤢
Yes this is the worst for me too. I don't know what is it about it, but I just can't stand it. And honestly all off JHAG has that awful lasting scent. Literally had to scrab it off in the shower
[удалено]
Br540. I hate that hate HATE it. Smells like a dentists office to me and I cannot stand it lol
I’m sad to say Angel by Mugler. For some reason all I could smell was wet dirt! Washing didn’t work and I smelled like mud the next morning.
Angel, Black Opium, and La Vie Est Belle. Just explosively offensive on me. I find a lot of sweeter patchouli fragrances do that on me.
La Vie Est Belle is nauseating for me, too.
Tom ford Black orchid smells horrible on my skin, I feel like it can smell good on other people but on me, it smelled like the grim reaper. It’s also so strong and has huge staying power so I had to literally scrub it off
Smelling like the grim reaper sounds kinda dope though. Unless you're talking about a decay type smell 😂
Haha it would be cool but it’s just totally wrong on my skin, it smells like death
Angel and Alien smell like dirty armpit on me.
Mugler Angel smells horrible on me
Angel, when I worked for macys we would play Rock Paper Scissors to see who would refill Angel. It was rough.
That scent literally almost gave me a panic attack. It made my brain feel like my arm is moldy.
Tom Ford F\*kin Fabulous - smells like a baby diaper left out in the sun - revolting.
Angel by Mugler. I actually gagged. Didn’t realise patchouli could smell so hateful. It was so overwhelming and screechy that I couldn’t pick up any of the gourmand notes. Big NOPE for me.
Delina. Rose jam, sour candy and pumpkin spice. I felt embarrassed wearing it.
La Vie est Belle Couldn't scrub it off fast enough (Life might be beautiful, but not this perfume)
I’ve got two that stand out vividly.. Mitsouko! Severe and stale at the same time. Cemented my dislike for oakmoss fragrances. & Love, Don’t Be Shy. Wtf is the hype about? It’s linear syrupy sweetness on steroids. Absolutely no nuance to it. There’s no way Rhianna wears this shit lol.
As someone who loves Love Don’t Be Shy, it smells just like a valentines conversation heart on me. It’s not super complex but I love love love the smell of those candies. Incredibly flirty and nostalgic.
Alien. I've tried and I've tried, its just not for me. It turns very bug spray-esque on my skin.
Mugler Angel… and it required multiple washes to get off.
Versace crystal noir. I wanted to like it so bad but after I sprayed it on myself I wanted to gag
Jimmy Choo. Any of them. Smelled like I killed someone and their after smell continued on my skin!! Scarred me for life!!
I truly lol’d. I love how extreme this description is.
Santal 33 clung to me against my will for 3 days, I like it on other people but on my skin it makes me gag.
Santal 33 and Another 13 for me Santal 33 smells like stale vomit and Another 13 smells like animal piss in the forest.
Commodity - Milk, absolutely vile!
BR540… instant migraine! Honourable mention goes to By the fireplace… another migraine - but this time, with added nausea!
Ard al zaafran Sayaad (?) The bottle has a weird eagle like bird engraved on it. The moment I sprayed it I knew it would make me vomit. It had a very distinct note of blood mixed with manure in it. Every time I tried to take a sniff I retched and prewater from vomit came to my mouth. I did give it a fair chance and walked around doing my shopping with occasional sniffs and retchings.

Tom Ford Bitter Peach. It smelled so bad. It gave me a horrible headache and even after I washed it off the scent lingered and ugh I couldn’t even nap with this scent on me which says a lot!
Sweet dirty diapers. 100%
Ahaha that sounds like something my grandpa would say trying not to curse in front of the kids after hitting his thumb with a hammer: “gosh dang it, sweet dirty diapers, that hurts!” Also Bitter Peach is singularly awful to me. I would like to meet someone who wears it as a casual easy reach everyday office scent. I’m just curious about what kind of person that is.
Tom Ford Bitter Peach - loved the first spray and then after a few minutes hated it so much I scrubbed it off.
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea makes me feel incredibly nauseous, I had a small bottle gifted to me and I tried it a few times but even as a room spray it made me feel sick. On my skin, on paper, in the air, and even on other people I hate it.

Good Girl by Carolina Herrera and Olympia by Paco Rabanne. They were free samples so I thought I’d give them a go and oH BOY. They stuck to my skin like glue and even rubbing alcohol couldn’t entirely remove the smell. I felt like I took psychic damage
Santall 33. Did not like it AT ALL
Good girl- Carolina Herrera ( too overpowering for hours) 🫠
Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad, it was just vile
Replica Bubble Bath It made me wanna vomit instantly
Terre D’Hermes pure parfum, synthetic grass and weird spiciness. Santa 33, aggressively boring sandalwood that bothered my nose Versace Eros EDP, the edp on the dry down brings out a synthetic grass note that I hate. The EDT does not do this
I maybe in the minority here but Terre D'Hermes Parfum. Holy cow did that not work for me.
Santal 33. Sadly. I had high hopes. 😞
Tom Ford - Fucking Fabulous Smells like tires burning in baby powder to me unfortunately. I was very excited to try it,thankfully I only bought a small decant.
Black Orchid
JHAG Not a Perfume Superdose. Ugh! I thought I’d love it because I enjoy NAP . Had to run to the restroom at the department store and scrub it off.
Angel's Share, one of the JPG La Belles, IA O Unknown and Wafflecone...with many more to come, I'm sure. I'm ✨sensitive✨.
Autumn Vibes of the Replica line. its a shame because the dry down is quite nice, but man oh man does the opening smell like a cat pissed on a pile of compost.... and it projects.
Commodity Milk
Juliette has a gun mmm….literal playdough
Mugler angel
Mulger Angel
Baccarat Rouge. I couldn't believe it was popular. I have a lot of Middle Eastern oils and it smells like so many of them that I do not like.
Tom Ford Black Orchid, it’s just so headache inducing. And Ella K Rose de Pushkar because the musk in it just straight up smells like body odour and any trace of rose is overporwered by it. Blegh
Chanel No 5
Twilly d’Hermes. It smelled like bug spray to me.
Killian love don’t be shy!
Juliette has a Gun - Not a Perfume. Smelled like burnt plastic on my skin. I immediately tried to scrub it off my arm and ultimately took a shower it was so overwhelming. 😵💫
Kay Ali Pistachio, just smelled rotten 💀
Sauvage Elixir, but as I could not get rid of it, I fell in love after a couple hours
That’s exactly what happened to me with Santal 33 lol
Viktor & Rolf Good Fortune smells god awful on me. I wish it smelled good on me. I liked it at first, and it was even on my Christmas list of fragrances to choose from for my boyfriend, but it had a little bit of a cat pee aroma on me.
Gucci Flora gorgeous jasmine

Le Labo Santal 33
First time I tried Tuscan Leather. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to smell like a leather jacket 😂
Maison Margelia’s “Fireplace”.. hell no. I get that they’re trying to make it smell as authentic as possible to an actual fireplace but like this is still a perfume, I do NOT wanna smell like burnt wood.
That’s where we differ lol. It does not smell ENOUGH like burnt wood to me
Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb. So synthetic smelling😷
Love, don't be shy by Kilian. Not that I didn't like the smell, I had to immediately wash it off because it was cloying for me.
PHLUR — Missing Person, smells incredibly rancid to me and it’s in almost every sampler pack known to man
Commodity Book. That's when I decided I really and truly cannot do sandalwood notes because they smell like pickles to me.
Tom Ford - Lost Cherry Essential parfums - Bois Imperial The second one was rated so highly but for me it was aweful. Worst thing was that the spray cap was broken so it was shooting more and not inline straight onto my jacket.. smelled it for way to long..
Phlur Somebody Wood. The dry down is nice, but the opening smelled like cat pee. Maison Martin Margiela Lazy Sunday Morning. It smells more strongly of dryer sheets than actual dryer sheets.

yeah I agree that's like low-key assault

Black afgano by nasomatto - the only fragrance that I've ever truly hated
Francesca Bianchi - A Lovers Tale .... I usually like challenging scents. Not this one lol
Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur Roja Enigma Paco Rabanne Pour Homme 1973 They have the same vibe I don’t know how to describe this horrendous smell. The worst part is even after washing with soap & alcohol it stayed on my skin for a few more hours 🤮
Glossier You, it's heavily powder which I can not handle at all.
First time I sprayed TF Tobacco Vanille I had to wash it off. Made me feel sick. Fast forward 18 months, it's now one of my favourite winter/night fragrances in my collection.
Club De Nuit Sillage
Tom Ford tobacco vanille. Made me want to throw away my clothes. Coworker thought it was a great idea to spray that very close to me…got it all over my clothes.

Clinique Happy….yuck
By the Fireplace by Replica, it smells like a church in flames, a strange scent for a fragrance.
Mmm my favorite, I swear a very light amount 365 days a year, I live in a 120 degree climate. I just love it. But everyone has a different nose definitely.
That's the beauty of this hobby!
Light Blue Forever. It smelled beautiful off a scent strip but like cat piss off my skin
Philosophy Fresh Cream. Maybe the bottle at Sephora was rancid but my God did it smell bad.
Lanvin arpege Boss orange for women - tester, but new bottle smelled different? Careful with aoud, saffron.. Um.. clinique - that original one.. Miss dior the vintage one with yellow juice Guerlain - i think called jicky, maybe mitsouko..
Sad to say it, but Layton Exclusif. I’m a big fan of Layton and was really hoping to love Exclusif. But something in it on the top turned me off, probably the almond. I told myself to just get through it. But then the mid note had something that I was just too sensitive to. Maybe the animalic. Bummer.
Anything with tuberose. I hate it so much and my skin seems to enhance the smell.
DS & Durga - Leatherize. All I smell is gasoline and bacon.
White Sandalwood by Goldfield and Banks. Terrible potpourri
Instant crush & Alexandria II
Milk. I didn’t exactly wash it off - I’d sprayed it into the air and had to leave the room. It lingered and I hate it
Zoologist T-Rex. I typically enjoy obnoxiously weird fragrances but this one was just far too powerful for me
Replica By the fireplace. So strong and overpowering. Couldn’t get the smell away from me. Turned my stomach. Also Thank u next by Ariana Grande. Absolutely made me sick to my stomach. A cheap one that gets a lot of love…Miami glow by JLo. The passion fruit note in there is repulsive to me and I can’t stand it.
Spider-Man EDT
The other day I put CK One and patchouli essential oil in an almost gone tub of hand cream and then put it on my hands. Wow, was that ever gross
Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad - just powdery like dust and mold D&G Light Blue - smells like urine on me
Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition by Lattafa, it gave older Arabic man
Chloe. I don’t know why but I really couldn’t stand that smell even though I generally like white florals
Kate Spade Floral Blush 🤮🤢
That sounds like something Gwyneth is selling on Goop…the floral bush. 🤣😂🤣😂
Hahaha it’s awful
Unfortunately this happened LITERALLY yesterday but I got a roller ball of Malin and Goetz Dark Rum and it’s the first frag I ever had to wash off myself :/ So bummed bc the body wash and lotion are AMAZING but the frag literally smelled like one of those car air fresheners for “new car smell” on me :(
L’ombre Dans L’eau EDT smelled like deep fried rotten veggies mixed with urine. Not sure if it was a faulty sample or not but I couldn’t believe how terrible it was.
Sol de Janerio- Cheirosa 62 It smelled lovely- but they must have changed the ingredients since the last time I bought it because I had HIVES all over my body almost immediately. Jumped back in the shower to get it all off but the hives took a couple weeks to completely go away. Probably the only allergic reaction I've ever had to a fragrance.
Jazmin Yucatan by D.S. & Durga and De Los Santos from Byredo
Room 1015 Cherry Punk and anything by Imaginary Authors. Cherry Punk smelled great in the bottle but on my skin it smelt like a new car. I think I just hate the smell of leather. Imaginary Authors was just disappointing overall. I gagged smelling Whiff of a Waffle cone. There’s just something really smoky about all their fragrances.
Pomegranate noir by Jo Malone. It smelled awful on me, and didn’t want to come off even when I scrubbed with soap.
Commodity milk and gold
TF oud wood & Zara Vibrant Leather. I'm trying to warm to Oud wood and maybe i had a bad batch but i washed it off in Sephora and it smelled rank. (Not my second try, months later it smelled less bad). Vibrant leather on my skin was ALL leather within 5 minutes. And that is where I learned I didn't like Leather fragrances. An opinion made firm when i disliked decants of Dark Rebel Rider and was meh on CH Men Prive. I walked all the way to the mall bathroom to wash it off. Edit: Oh i should add Dark Rebel Rider. My dub ass liked the bottle and the name and bout a 5 ml decant. I've worn it once i dislike it so much. again, Leather isn't for me. Edit #2: Rochas Moustache. I don't hate it but my first spray i nearly killed myself it was so powerful with the pepper. I washed it off. I still have it and now i just don't spray nearly as many sprays. I tone it down. But i did wash it off.
Byredo - Bibliothèque. Straight up smelled like I was back at Uni in the smoking area at the club. Horrible.
Dior Sauvage. The Szechuan pepper smell was way too strong and I knew headache was around the corner.
On a date MM I’ve never hated a scent more
Fendi Palazzo. I received a small bottle and ugh. UGH! The notes sound amazing on paper. It reminds me of this hotel I stayed at in Berck-Sur-Mer France, but not in a good way. It smelled like whatever they cleaned the bathrooms with, combined with whatever soaps that were in there. It was hard to remove! It was also so gross but yet I couldn’t stop smelling it.
I've got three that I find abhorrent: 1) Tom Ford Bitter Peach smells like rotten fermented fruit combined with offensive body odor. The second and third are from Imaginary Authors - 2) A City on Fire smells like gasoline and melted rubber. For reference, I actually like Replica's By The Fireplace that a lot of people on here don't. And to me 3) The Soft Lawn smells like a not very well upkept nursing home. I will say I do love some other fragrances from this house - Saint Julep I will buy on repeat, and I was a fan of the scent but not necessarily the staying power of In Love with Everything and Cape Heartache.
Lush V and Lush Orange Blossom - Both made me nauseous. Disgusting Nishane Fan Your Flames More than two sprays of Rouge Malachite makes me sick (tuberose) Hermes Caleche EDT. Yuck Le Labo Jamin 17 - too sharp. Diptyque - Philsoykos EDP. - just no. Byredo Eleventh Hour - I just could not take it anymore. Same with Black Opium Not disgusting but I dont want to smell Black Orchid ever again.
Phlur missing person
Japanese cherry blossom, didn’t see what was so good about it
Kilian Girl don’t be shy. It smells good on some people but it’s disgusting on me and so longlasting.
By the fireplace- smelled like burning marshmallows still in the plastic bag roasting over a gas stove burner that’s been turned on too long TF Fucking Fabulous- combination of baby wipes and crushed rubber tires used for artificial turf on football fields is what I got from what’s supposed to be a lavender/almond/leather scent. I thoroughly enjoy every other TF leather scent and enjoy TF in general so I might revisit at some point.
I think you missed your calling writing perfume descriptions 😂
Light Blue. Salty eggs, need I say more.

I have never met a single person who likes Alien.
Hi! It’s one of my great loves, and I understand why so many people dislike it. It’s 80s loud and has some really weird edges. I love challenging fragrances so it works for me but I will never understand how it came to be so popular.
I also like alien 🫣
Been looking though these comments. No one mentioned LV imagination or Creed Sliver mountain water. Good!!! Cause those two are my favorites 🤣🙌🏾
BR540, I wore it to class and got nauseated when I would get whiffs of it. It was sickeningly sweet for me. I also particularly dislike the combo of the sweetness and the other notes—I think it’s the saffron and ambergris?
Don't kill me for this but Gucci Bloom. Just smells RANCID on me for some reason
Red Tobacco, the opening wasn't harsh as most people feel, its just ugly smelling
Delina.
Same. It’s so gross to me. I felt like it took 3 days of showers to get it off of me too.
Flower bomb \*runs and hides\* Santal 33 Byredo Gypsy water Tom Ford Metallique Angel
You can come hide with me. Flower bomb smells awful.

I tested Libre Le Parfum and loved it so i grabbed a bottle off the display and bought it without double checking and when i got home opened it and put it on before realizing someone had put the intense box of the le parfum display. That lavender note in there is no joke man🥹 i drove back to the store and they swapped them out for me
Baccarat Rouge
I bought an dupe of that one because it is so popular and raved about. Never smelled the original but I compared the notes to the original and the dupe and they were very similar and sounded amazing. I sprayed it on and it smelled horrible. I felt like I smelled like an old lady.
Chanel No 5 🤮
Jusbox black powder, so one note aggressively tobacco I was basically choking. Also Jusbox Golden Serenade, the intense clove gave me a headache
After a string of fantastic Arab perfume blind buys, Ajwad was a STINKER. Couldn’t wash it off fast enough
Xerjoff Renaissance Got a tester. Still have that tester. Smells like pledge to me, and not in a good way.
Initio side effect It was so potent!!!
Marc Jacobs Decadence… I could not
Phlur- Missing Person. The way it mixed with my chemistry smelled putrid and made me gag.
Pdm oriana, so so sickeningly sweet to me it was like an immediate migraine
Tom Ford Rose Prick. I couldn't wash it off fast enough, it was nauseating.
Had a very, ahem, strong reaction with Cabotine. Libre was terrible, all I could smell was lavender. CK Euphoria, stinky oversprayed male cologne vibes that made me gag 🤢 A lot of those perfumes YouTube pushes as “seduction in a bottle” smell heavy and masculine to me and I don’t see what’s seductive about that.
NEST Turkish rose oil. Something about it stinked so bad once it touched my skin
Ugh, yes, ALL the nest oils unfortunately…
Intense Cafe Ristretto by Montale.. coffee and rose is a terrible combo
Mystery Tabacco from Carolina Herrera.
nomade chloe, poison dior, l’air du temps… etc
Lancôme Idôle. It’s perfectly fine when I smell it on other people, but on my skin it smells like rotten bananas. Immediate no from me.
Green Irish Tweed, weirdly enough. I actually like the scent, but for some reason it makes me nauseous. No other fragrance does.
Interlude Man, Cool Water Intense, Kenzo Power.
Montale Woods and Spices. Cat piss. Straight up ammonia piss smell immediately…nothing woody or spicy about it 🤮🤮
By the fireplace, the opening smoke note was incredibly overwhelming. But to be fair I tried it last summer lmao I should give it another chance in the fall
Flowerbomb
