Top 10 MOST HATED Fragrances!😡

[@DarkHorseDanny]

I must be one of the rare few that loves Phantom 😂

[@neilandrei]

I love Phantom too. I really like the dry down.

[@jeanjasinczuk7543]

Same for me, I like the dry down of Phantom. But this is one I can understand is a bit divisive.

[@michaelgrey7854]

Phantom smells like kitchen cleaner. Yuck!

[@lolwut31]

My jaw dropped at 1 million parfum being #1 most hated, wtf? I’m shocked…Such a beautiful fragrance, to each their own

[@profound369]

I love that shiz, it's in my favorites

[@christianbrewerton710]

Just saw an article (not sure how accurate it is) that said Dior sells one bottle of Sauvage every 3 seconds. Fragrantica users may hate it, but Dior is laughing all the way to the bank 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Norb_]

Its a good thing that fragrantica doesnt represent the whole world

[@x__ace]

Bro savauge is the most sold one literally everywhere

[@tipsy9947]

If just being popular corresponded with quality, then "The Da Vinci Code" would be the greatest American novel ever written.

[@brandonerick]

@@tipsy9947 To be fair I don't think anyone sticking up for Sauvage is claiming it's the greatest scent ever concepted. Overall it's a solid beginners fragrance that's difficult to recommend because every guy under 30 wears it as his signature...

[@itanamullik]

sauvage is maybe the world's most hated fragrance but the reason for that is its also the world's most worn and loved fragrance. if 100 million people wear it there will be just as many people that hate it. But if no one wears a certain frag it may get 0 hate but also 0 lovers but it still = no hate

[@doaflamingo3713]

i think sauvage is overyhyped in the sense that "everyone wears this'. 90% of people really dont wear frags and most from the rest of 5% proably wear some cheap frags like axe. rest of us remaining are fragheads.

[@dosbaddel7436]

So true!

[@Evenflow717]

I'll preface this by saying I'm not a huge fan of Sauvage and never have/ever will own any of the range. That said if a frag is mass appealing and it's loved by millions then that doesn't mean it's overhyped, it just means that the masses enjoy it and Just because you don't like it doesn't make it overhyped. I'll throw in another controversial one as well, I'm no fan of Creed either but again, just because I don't like it and millions do doesn't mean it's overhyped, it just means I have a different opinion of it which is ok from both sides....

[@mastervader4444]

agreed, then you hear the classic ''its over played''... bruh I'm the only MF i know that uses perfume

[@Bruceylancer]

I agree with your basic point, but it depends, for example, where you are. The nightclubs in my city feel like they are literally soaked with Sauvage. And this smell now reminds me of a hangover after a night out.

[@DcTrimwb6bc]

@@mastervader4444 yeppp, 95% of dudes I know don't wear any cologne at all, and the other 5% have like 1-2 colognes. So when a cologne is "overhyped" / "worn by everyone" it really means like 1% of dudes wear it AT MOST.

[@tdatvperth]

I hope to never smell something like Joop Homme. I smelt it 10years ago and I can still smell it, yes it lasts that long.

[@1312Johnny]

The whole 90s smelled of it!!! But🤷🏻‍♂️ the 90s was my teenage years and therefore the best decade EVER! Still taste it- you’re right 🤢🤒

[@stratospekos]

I don't really get the "everyone wears it " hate , like 90% of the people where I live haven't discovered yet that deodorants is a thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@konradw905]

Exactly, 80% of men is not using any fragrances lol.

[@Fenthin]

Excluding the Phantom, which is utterly awful, it's actually list of (over)hyped fragrances people are most tired of.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Good point

[@jasonmiszuk9870]

Agreed, Phantom is terrible.

[@initdialog]

@@jasonmiszuk9870 So is BR 540.

[@mastervader4444]

tired of watcing it on youtube that is, because were a small community and wanna make it sound like 90% of the population uses fragrances...

[@dextermorgan2117]

If they can't afford Baccarat Rouge 540 they should just say so instead.

[@anastasiosmitropoulos1989]

Paco Rabanne is a top creative brand, with unique pioneer masterpieces, no generic, no copying.

[@Handstyles]

Back in the days definitely. Now they kill off their best 1 Million Flankers and release 2 horrendous overly sweet Vanilla Bombs with Phantom and Elixir. Thats the opposite of creativity for me.

[@dan8085]

I refuse to purchase brands that have gimmicky bottles, and Paco Rabanne is one of the worst offenders of this... right up there with Jean Paul Gaultier

[@stevenlang9849]

With Jeremy's fragrance it's probably the fact that he openly admits that the fragrance coats 10€ to make, but he sells it for 250€, just because he can. Even having an entire video dedicated to "I raised the price from 150 to 250, because you guys will pay it anyways and other brands do it as well"

[@laithtabet970]

Yeah I love Jeremy Fragrance he is extremely entertaining and often has good insights but I am never paying that crazy ass price point for a cologne unless its really got some wow factor

[@WildWildWeasel]

You’re better off buying from ATH who’s an actual perfumer and his scents are of an insane quality. I have a few of his works and damn, they good and they don’t cost an arm and a leg

[@wimfranken384]

No, no, no...give Phantom a chance! A few days ago I sprayed it for the second time after not using it for a few months and to my surprise... now I really really like it! Fresh, sweet, a bit Invictus like... Maybe it's because I let it layer for a few months?

[@LA-st6dq]

The Problem I have with Phantom is (the ridiculous bottle aside) it uses alot of Rhubarb, that "juicy" vegetable dirt smell is off-putting for many people, guys and girls.. secondary the performance isn't solid enough.

[@5JS23]

I got this and it’s really nice.. don’t see the hate. Same as Burberry hero. Although I haven’t smelt the Parfum yet!

[@UnclePhilCosby]

I million parfum isn’t the best in the lineup but I’m halfway through my 100 ml bottle🤷🏾‍♂️

[@dravago17]

I hate Nautica Voyage, not because it’s a bad fragrance but because of the people it reminds me of, bad experiences and bad memories. It’s actually less common that I dislike a fragrance because of what it is… although it does smell cheap now that I’ve smelled other much nicer things. $20 a bottle is about right.

[@brandonerick]

Yea the flankers are much better imo. I live in the American southwest so Voyage Sport is one of 3 bottles in my collection that works in 100+ degree heat lmao, it has a nice Italian citrus old-school colonia vibe to it.

[@hworth3]

The hate comes from Jeremy. I like the scent plus Black Tie and Date. It would be an awesome world if we could separate our dislike for people and things. That price though is another issue.

[@j.l.5966]

Agreed. The scents are some of the best Alberto Morillas has produced (imo) but the prices are outrageous. However, if you’ve been following Jeremy’s channel since his sane days, you’ll know that he throws out crazy discount codes and has stated that his subscribers need not pay the full retail price. Even if you don’t follow Jeremy, a fragrance enthusiast will know where to look for codes for discounts. I bought Office, Date and Black Tie as a bundle for $275. The 100ml bottle of Office came out to be less than $60.

[@JasubOjeda]

Sauvage... one of the best fragrances out there. For the every day person, only hated by frag snobs.

[@russellbonell]

I don't agree, I believe it's hated because it's everywhere and a lot of people over spray it and it ruins the scent when it's over sprayed.

[@JasubOjeda]

@@russellbonell No worries, you're welcome to your wrong opinion 😁

[@russellbonell]

@@JasubOjeda not wrong though am I.

[@JasubOjeda]

@@russellbonell 🤦‍♂️ ... tried to make it humorous... but reread my last comment. If you live in a large city, that might be closer to the truth, but most of America is more rural. And Sauvage is king, even over Bleu. Anyways, we can agree to disagree.

[@russellbonell]

@@JasubOjeda every Tom Dick and Harry wears it, and they wear too much of it and it smell awful when it's over sprayed in high heat. So yeah people like me who find it headache inducing then I think that's a good reason to hate it. When it's worn properly then it smells much better, still well over used. But if you want to smell like your new girlfriends last two ex's then cool. Guess we can both agree to disagree that you are correct.

[@biddlybingdebong8959]

Years ago Kouros would have been my most hated, I despised it. Now I'm older, I kinda like it. I don't really have any hated male fragrances, certainly none of the top 10 here, although I've never tested Secretions so I can't really say there. The remaining 9 I don't dislike. I cannot stand Giorgio Beverly Hills, Anais Anais, Poison or Opium. Luckily I don't smell them often on the ladies anymore. If I had to pick a top 5 for men, these wouldn't be fragrances I hate, just ones I don't particularly like. 1. Amalfi Di Mandarino. 2. Aventus. 3. Bleu De Chanel. 4. Issey Miyake EDI. 5. Acqua Di Gio. I don't really dislike any of them, I just don't gravitate towards citrussy fragrances at all, and those 5 are the ones I smell on others most often. All much of a muchness for my nose. Fresh, inoffensive, clean, wearable by almost everyone, just not my style at all. I would wear all 5 so I clearly don't hate them, I just wouldn't buy any of them again. I prefer woody/spicy fragrances over the fougeres. Each to his own though, we're lucky to have so much choice nowadays, back in my teens there were very few, everyone wore Joop, Cool Water, Versace Blue Jeans, Fahrenheit, Aramis or Eternity. You'd be very, very lucky to smell anything else half decent. Then when CK One came out, everyone had it on, male and female. That may be where my apathy towards citrus scents actually began.

[@stansmith5610]

*Invictus is on here and not Bad boy??? They both have the exact average rating on Fragrantica 3.61/5*

[@lianabevyrage]

The hate for BR540 is interesting to me. I think it depends on where you live. In bigger cities, where you’re more likely to smell it on a lot of people, I could see it as less appealing. In areas where people have never heard of BR540, it’s nothing short of amazing. I couldn’t imagine a man wearing it, but that’s just my preference. I love your unpretentious approach to fragrance.

[@Bruceylancer]

BR540 is a masterpiece, and I don't care what snobs from the frag community say. "Overhyped"? Yeah, sure, because everyone owns a $300 fragrance. It's miles away from all of the others on this list.

[@scent_jeannie]

I’ve not enjoyed a single Paco fragrance since the original and I think that is only based on nostalgia! Quite agree with this list apart from the hate for the Jeremy Fragrance and BR 540 as I think it was very original when it first came out - just too many people wearing it now. Great video thanks Chris

[@Masterme733]

Dior Sauvage edt is one of my most favorite fragrance from the line of DIOR i got a lot of compliments from people passing on me and they even stopped at me and wondering what types of perfume im wearin' they even asking me which perfume im wearin. And the exciting part is when its summer when my neck got sweat the smells exploded like super fresh and classy.

[@fabianschindelknechtli7154]

Great clip as usual! 🙃 On fragrantica it seems that Dior Sauvage isn't hated to such an extent though... I don't know where you get the numbers from.. I only see an average of 3.9 / 5 and a tiny bar chart / smiley which symbolises the hates. I could imagine the numbers of hates is very high, due to the fact it's very popular and common. (Similar to 1 Million).

[@littledrumminboy5779]

Great video, Chris! It's a shame that not everyone can love and appreciate Sauvage as much as George the Fragrance Apprentice does 🤷‍♂️😋

[@jdmb03]

Paco will get you compliments,1 Million, 1 Million Lucky, 1 Million Parfum, Invictus, Invictus Legend, Pure XS Night. Fragrantica is a blend of frag-heads and trolls.

Sauvage Parfum is fantastic!!

[@GamerDragonflyLP]

Honestly I dont „hate“ any frags, there are scents that just dont work on me. If a person likes a smell then he or she should just wear it! I do own and, when I feel like it, wear Sauvage EDT despite it being overused. Most people wont even care anyway🤷🏽‍♂️ Good video as always, have a great day everyone

[@bradleystroup1457]

Burberry is the most rubbish fragrance brand imo. Most Paco Rabanne fragrances aren't for me but they're still popular. Burberry is just flop after flop

[@Zoqo]

Think it comes with the territory, successful fragrances get more hate, surprised to see BR540 on their but got to be honest, I can’t stand One Million, remember it when first released and could smell it everywhere on nights out, after a while I couldn’t stand smelling it, maybe can see how some people are like that now with Sauvage although I think Sauvage is a much nicer scent

[@illestindonees]

Paco Rabanne is the most hateful brand because it has so many successes. If you don’t have haters, you don’t do something right

[@FISHinho8]

One Million Parfum is the best of the line imo. Lucky is good too. But I hate the bottle design of most PR fragrances to be honest.

Everyone in the real world can't tell if your wearing a MFK fragrance or stetson from Walmart 😂😂

[@NashMav]

The only thing you can complain about Jeremy's product is the price. It's unreasonably expensive. Apart from that, any further complaints are just because the product is his rather the fragrance's quality. We all know the guy has an over the top personality that might come off as annoying for some individuals but people forget that's not what you're buying. Leave him be. Despite your personal feelings for him, he's valuable for the fragrance community. A lot of people joined us here just from watching and listening to him before they expanded to other reviewers.

[@nealefrancis9094]

[@cheekster777]

[@xStrife_7]

and for the spanish speakers world, the most hated will be "Andres Croxatto Man" by the YT reviewer Andres Perfume Man (Cris Carbonell was the perfumist with Andres). Pricey fragrance, awfull sillage, cheap presentation, check it out in fragrantica, the biggest deception ever. They said in a video we dont understand the fragrance, zero autocritic and a lot of ego (in a video Andres says to Jeremy "I sold more than you men" 😂)

[@chakawhyte5753]

I used to be a Paco Rabanne fan, back in the 90s early 2000s I had nearly everything they produced… But then I turned 30; and like a weird scene out of ‘Logan’s Run’ they all smelt cheap, tacky and synthetic. The kind of stuff you’d get from some ‘bloke down the market’ If Del Trotter was in his early 20s now he’d wear Paco Rabanne by the litre. Anyway, my top 5 (no order) 1. Paco Rabanne 1 Million 2. Lalique White 3. Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent 4. Ard Al Zaafaran Midnight Oud 5. Versace Eros

I’ve tried a lot of Jeremy’s fragrances. Including both his female scents. I do enjoy them but they are grossly overpriced, super cheap packaging and Jeremy himself being a creepy, clueless fake Christian who gives horrible diet advice and is obviously suffering from declining mental health and body dysmorphia issues. I would be able to excuse his prices if the packaging was better 🤷🏻‍♀️ My final straw was finding out he filters the reviews on his website and only posts the 4 or 5 star reviews which I find to be very misleading and shady 🤦🏻‍♀️ I unsubscribed to his channel. I unfollowed all his social media. At this point I can’t deal with his very special kind of crazy and he’s not someone I feel comfortable supporting 👎🏻👎🏻

[@natalydavidsmith3118]

Because everyone wears it should not be a reason to hate something. You produce something to be a success not so that only 1 person in each city wears it! Obscurity is counterintuitive to what these brands are trying to achieve.

I typically roll my eyes at people who hate something just bc it's popular, it's so predictable and contrarian. But in the case of BR540, I've become what I hate.

Then JPG's "Le Beau" Parfum: The coconut note is so chemically and kills the entire fragrance for me. And last but not least one kick more for Paco Rabanne: 1 Million Elixir. WAY too sweet. I cant smell anything but vanilla coated with more vanilla and maybe some tonka bean to boost the vanilla. Its just horrible.

I think the concept of hate diverged from its original mean... there used to be your crap fragrances and those who where unfortunate to buy it ended up hating it... and now, the fragrances arent bad, but, because either most people smell it from someone else so many times or, they didnt had the chance to be in the hype wave when it was at its peak, they tend to hate the scent.... Just show people move with the masses.... I dont use the word hate... I usually dislike a fragrance simply because it doesnt smell good for me...;)

Personally, I love 1 million, the original EDT! I think it's an absolute masterpiece! I also enjoy Invictus. Less fan of Ultraviolet. I don't understand either why this brand is so trashed, snubbed in internet circles, youtube... concerning perfumery. I hear it's because the perfumes are totally artificial, synthetic... But that's the case with absolutely all brands! Otherwise the perfumes would cost a fortune knowing that, for example, it takes 500kg of rose to boil to ultimately obtain not even a single liter of absolute! Some say it's because it's too mainstream, too many people wear them... Which is already a more valid argument. But that doesn't mean you have to give a biased opinion on the products.

[@jimmyvegas5208]

1. Hate doesn't come from the smell of Office, it comes from Jeremy and it's ridiculous pricing. 2. Dior Sauvage EDT is pure shit, outdated, nauseatiating smell. EDP is far superior, even though it smell similar, it's more refined. 3. Paco Rabanne is indeed shit.

[@matthewcross2991]

My least favourite fragrance ever has to be Scandal pour homme from JPG. Oh my god I’ve never smelled anything so evil, just feels like you’re taking a bath in cheap sickly and thick caramel but with some aromatic bullshit over the top and jesus it’s just so tacky, the tackiest fragrance ever. Imagine the DNA of Phantom and decrease the citrus and completely push a sickly “fresh gourmand” (IMHO a total oxymoron) backbone. And the worst part is that it lasts for over 12 hours with a disgustingly huge sillage. A fragrance for douchebags at the club

[@Wurbel199]

Jeremy aside, the reason why his Fragrance line is so criticized, is as you said, the Price AND his Marketing. "Best Fragrance in the World" was the most stupid thing he could say and his redicilous Pricing is just the Tip of the Iceberg. Does it smell good? Yes. Does it justify this Price Tag? Hell no. In terms of pricing, he wants to be on par with Roja, without the Quality. Of course he doesn't come close to that and ceftainly not with a company like Firmenich.

[@SP-sl6dj]

BR540 and Aventus are both dead and OFG is rubbish for an oud. I would never wear those over a Roja. And even though all my frags are niche, I think Sauvage still beats those three I mentioned. A lot of people wear Sauvage but as someone who had it, and moved to niche, when I smell it, it's still pleasing, it's timeless. Whereas the smell of BR540, Aventus and OFG is irritating to me.

[@maansardast8286]

sauvage is alright but I wouldn't wear it, nothing too special. I agree with all PR votes though, they all smell like cheap juvenile roll on deodorants to me. Never cared to even try the EDP as I lost faith in the brand. Really call me old fashioned but I think their original is their best followed by XS and XS extreme. As for Joop, well yes it was a bit too sweet, but I liked it, never wore it but did like it. As for the secretions perfume, honestly reminds me of that Hollywood celebrity that got digestive tract problems from bottling too many of her f***rts and selling them for a premium! Crazy!! I'd add CREED as a brand just because they produce those expensive perfumes that don't perform too well and they keep playing with the formulation.

[@j.l.5966]

The majority of the Fragrantica crowd seems to be anti designer, anti mass appeal, anti mainstream and definitely anti Jeremy. The past few years have gotten worse where you’ll see review bombs and thumbs downs of certain fragrances that haven’t even been released yet. Especially if it’s a flanker or anything Fragrance One. And you can see patterns of notorious members who’ll trash the latest Sauvage but call their favorite niche fecal oud a “magnificent work of art 10/10”.

[@TheNik604]

Phantom actually is not that bad , the smoke ( some kind of gun powder smell ) makes it slightly bitter against the sweetness , yes is generic ( also reminds me of a modernized YSL L'Nuit , because the same perfumer Ropion) , but everything is so generic now days - even the 300 euro perfumes are copied from a 30 euro perfumes ...

Follow this rule: the more hate a fragrance gets from the slobs/snobs at Fragranticrap, the more you’ll love it. Always, *always* works.

[@DnBReece1]

Br540 was nice like 2 years ago, but if you go to Oxford street or Bicester Village it’s all you smell everywhere. It’s just rinsed hasn’t got that wow factor anymore unfortunately.

[@Rapscallion0421]

You asked for views on Paco Rabanne as a fragrance House? Sorry but it’s a tarted up version of Lynx bodyspray - weedy, over sweet generic juice , devoid of character and aimed at adolescents with tired marketing campaigns always based on the premise ‘this gets the girl’ - Its the fragrance equivalent of the guy speaking too loud on his mobile, the party guest with an overly-loud really irritating laugh. Completely disregard any release from them as basically its the same theme endlessly reworked.

Ive never smelt Jeremy Fragrances shit, but he thinks he's a niche guy and hes more the discount guy lol, i love Sauvage EDP and Elixir I don't own the Parfum nor the edt, but the edp and Elixir I love i have 2 x 200ml bottles of the edp, just incase Dior mess with it, this stuff is made for Australia where I live and over here fragrance for men isn't a massive industry but I have the OG One Million ive had it for a few yrs, nice summer scent which will still pull fragrances, also have the OG Invictus which again is a nice summer scent but definitely for the younger crowd im now 47 but Pacco msde gold with Invictus Victory a great scent more for the cooler months and more for the mature male. But the good thing is people see these videos and are new to the fragrance game so they will not buy something that people hate, so Sauvage is here to stay and Elixir man they saved the best for last. But for me the edp is a little less loud, smoother and not in your face, its so versatile and will be here in 20yrs prob reformulated but will still be here.

[@berenddevries74]

Sorry to say Chris, but I agree with the ones I know in this list. Used to own some, smelled most. The ones I owned either I sold them or gave them away. Highligting one; Sauvage just gives me a massive headacke, all of them.

[@nebulaM16]

My most complimented frag’s are PR 1MILL., Aqva di gio profumo and YSL Y edp….

[@blary5298]

Just got a sample of BR 540 extrait. Wow this stuff is strong! I put a little dab on and it didn't even come off after I showered. I wouldn't buy this, but I think I would love to smell it on a woman.

[@yes1810]

Nah man I went into a Hudson bay the other day I had never smelled a dior sauvage and I was so ready to love it and sing the praises of it along with so many KZbinrs I've been watching recently since it's the holiday season and I'm looking for gifts for family of course.. and anyway I hated it. Massive no from me. Just awful imo I really don't get why people like it. I often wear Versace man eau frache and 1 Million Privé and those blow sauvage outta the water. .. imo

[@randallECTRIC]

The 1 million parfum being number one is trash...the writer just personally hates Paco Ribanne ...Aventus not being on the list shows that it is just some dude's jaded personal list

[@OtisF96]

Great video as always, Chris! My thoughts, for what they're worth: I'm not surprised to see these making the list. Masculine designer fragrance has been going downhill for ages now, and if we're all supposed to smell like amber and ambroxan then we'd have been born smelling of it, thank God for people like ATH who are doing interesting things with fragrance.

[@kabiskzor]

I hardly ever smell any men wearing anything but cheap grocery store deodorant cans around my area unless it's the nightclub scene and then its just a mash of a million different fragrances all competing with each other, mixed with body oder, alcohol and cigarette smoke. So unless you are giving someone a hug you don't know who's wearing what anyway. Id guess fragrance snobs are in the minority, at least in my city. Personally I wear a different fragrance every day even if I'm just chilling around my house. Just because I like to smell good, not to impress anyone. The same reason I shave every day.. The same reason I choose to wear certain styles of clothes. Because I like it.

[@harveytrevino2257]

I’m with you, I quite liked the 1 Million Parfum. The leather shines real nice, but I guess to each their own.

[@MehmetEgeYolcu]

Hi, I am a fan of you, and lovingly follow your account. I really liked your t-shirt, I’d been looking for such navy colored and such cut tee; can you please share the link of it?

[@alunwidjaja6498]

I only own one million from paco rabbane. I dont really like it that much but i dun hate it either. In fact its a good scent but the overly sweet drydown sometimes is sickening. But i dun hate the brand tho ... I just dun quite fancy it cos its not my style. But really? How could anybody hate perfume? Its suppose to make u feel and smell good ... Just pick one that match your character and liking.

[@mrcatcake1264]

Sauvage is the soundtrack scent to British Saturday nights.. in the club, at the taxi rank, guys pushing doner kebabs in their face and pissing down side alleys. It’s everywhere and I f*****g hate it 😂 but 1 million, that’s a different story…

[@LA-st6dq]

Most people on fragrantica are just snobs who hate any fragrance that is very popular and very good, guys and girls love the fragrances alot around the world so it can't be bad. Now, I'm not saying all fragrances on this list are popular and good (e.g. Phantom) but most are, and many very popular and loved aren't on the list to be fair though. But yeah, imo its a snobby fraction that simply hates that a fragrance gets so much love, compliments and popularity bashing it is cheap, smells bad, sweet rubbish or synthetic - often it is also people that dedicade themselves to niche only, so anything that is not niche will be considered kids juice. But the facts are, most niche fragrances are too special ot specific to be liked and even the most liked niche fragrance you can find even more and better complimented fragrances in the Designer market for half the price or less 😀

[@hyoonoot]

My mom wears Baccarat Rouge 540 all the time. I like it a lot, but the price is... steep to say the least.

[@hklmvm01]

Why hating on a fragrance? If you don't like a fragrance that's ok. But hating on it? Then don't buy it. I bought PR Phantom for the bottle not for the content......

[@Abhikpr.]

I actually like phantom alot. I get tons of compliments on it. Surprisingly this is my second most complimented fragrance after sauvage. It overtook aventus at 2 spot.

[@dirkdiggler2234]

Yes...sausage smells great!!

[@Abhikpr.]

@@dirkdiggler2234 BAHAHAHAHA just noticed the typo

[@eddiegamez3553]

Dior's Sauvage EDP actually is one the few citrusy scents that works with my chemistry and the way it's blended is likely why it works for me. I have smelled it on others, and it's hit or miss, but I find citrus is a note that is polarizing not just for our chemistry, but for our own liking.

[@jodee8831]

I cant fathom why anyone would hate Bacarat Rouge 540.. it leans too feminine for me but this is my favorite fragrance on my wife

[@jacklarage2651]

No people hate dior because everyone buys it. I have elixir and smells same in the beginning than changes direction. Masion francis kurkdjian I will be buying the oud satin

[@toms9651]

The word hate is so overused in social media and by influensers. Hate is a really strong word. It means you do not like someone so much you wish them death or suffering and pain. "Do not like" is the correct word to use in most cases. If you feel hate so often, then something is wrong with your empathy and humanity level. Maybe you should look up if you are antisocial, or a psychopath or even a sociopath if you feel so much hate for anything, even small things like a smell of a fragrance.

[@paulie7777777]

Well if you don’t have haters you aren’t doing it right .. so PR is defo doing it right .. I mean there’s a lot of very popular fragrances on this list that are getting the hate vote … even the popular kids at school had people who hated them. Haters gonna hate 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Dano_EightyEight]

I love Phantom. Frag heads seem to hate it, but it just works for me. Tons of compliments.
