Fragrances we hate

Boots · Gucci

Xtina- I'm with you on the Angel choice. I can't stand that one.

Juicey Couture gives me a splitting headeache.

I also hate Flower Bomb. I feel like I'm being assulted by a florist.

Xtina - I hate Chanel No. 5 as well! It smells like an old lady perfume to me.

Boots - that's so funny that you hate Flowerbomb; it's one of my favorites! LOL On me I don't get much floral-y-ness, it smells more like a desert on me.

I hate:

D&G Rose the One. I got it last year, thought I loved it, and threw away the receipt. Now I hate it. It smells cheap and gives me a terrible headache.

There are lots of perfumes I hate, just can't think of any others right now.

Jahni · Dooney & Bourke

I hate pretty much any celebrity perfume...they always automatically make me think....stripper...i nearly gagged when I smelled Kim Kardashian's perfume...ugh.

LOL boots - these are the 2 fragrances I wear and love!!

Boots · Gucci

LOL. Chemistry.

I know lots of people love Flowerbomb. It's just too much for me. I really wanted to like the Juicy one, but it makes my head pound so! I tried it on when it first came out and had a massive headache within minutes. I can't even sit next to somebody wearing it.

Agreed! Years ago, I worked for the fragrance company that makes Juicy.. everyone was so excited about the launch - we had magazines calling trying to get the scoop on a release date.. We sold a $500 bottle.. and people bought it! I got it for free of course but didn't wear it because to me it smells like dimetapp!

I actually got Flowerbomb as a gift and had to return it because the smell was so STRONG.

Eternity and Design by Paul Sebastian - - if I can taste your perfume, then there's something wrong. Also, some of the overly sweet and heavy spicy perfumes that some women wear are disgusting.

kenzie · Chanel

Honestly, most fragrances are just too much for me. I never wear one myself. I remember that awful Bath & Body Works scent, Flowering Herbs. It seriously made me nearly vomit every time I smelled it. I was not sad when they discontinued it.

Metric · Gucci

Our HR manager wears some sort of thick stinky cologne that you can taste. If I ever find out what it is, I'm going to go there and burn the factory to the ground.

i agree! haha, thought i was the only one who felt this way!

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Basically any and all vanilla based perfumes. While I absolutely adore the taste (and even smell) of real, natural vanilla...the fake stuff is instant migraine.
I adore pomegranates as a food/beverage...but the BBW pomergranate line (midnight pom., I think) makes me gag.
Anything with patchouli...just...UGH!
