Good morning! A couple of things to keep in mind: one is that this obviously doesn't reflect the opinions of "all" people; this is just a group of a few thousand who happen to follow me on my instagram. There will be biases due to age, demographic, the fact that all of these people obviously follow me and many other youtube "influencers" - so the results are not to be taken as a serious reflection on a perfume's standing. It's just for fun! It also goes to show that perfume is very subjective because a few that landed on the hated list also landed on the loves list. At the end of the day it's just scented water and we should wear whatever we want. I hope you enjoy watching :)

There is often also a connection to the person who posts the poll. There was a popular influencer who conducted one of these Instagram polls, and she was seemed so shocked to see the fragrance that she'd developed featured on the list. She acted surprised that such a niche fragrance would be known well enough to rate, but she seemed to forget (or ignore) that the poll was conducted among HER Instagram followers, so of course they knew about her fragrance. I think if you watch several of these videos you will notice that the fragrances listed are most often fragrances that have been talked about (either positively or negatively) on the channel that is associated with the poll.

One thing I'd like to know in these polls of liking a fragrance, is what is the average age is in smelling the fragrances? I'm 71 y.o. so perhaps this is generational. I LOVE Shalimar. My husband loves it. Still. My other fragrances I change up with is Chanel #5, Ysatis, Arpege, Sortilege by Le Galion, and Madame Rochas. These are all old school scents and are not the same today, as when they were made back in the day. Don't care for the scents today and real perfume is so ungodly priced, you end up having to choose something else. If I could buy just one and it was made with the same ingredients back when I was younger, it would be Sortilege by Le Galion. The knockoffs of this are horrible.

The new ones barely last. I wish they would bring back Chloe Narcisse. Juicy Couture smells gross too headache floral.🙄 Angel was once loved by everyone, but everyone was wearing it. That's why everyone hates it now. I'd love to try Jimmy Choo..sounds great. Men I've noticed are attracted to Vanilla . One time my ex bought me Chloe Narcisse back in the day. I thought this fragrance was too strong , very sweet..he begged me to wear it. Well, he was right. It was sweet and sexy . When I wear just a spritz of Vanilla by Bodycology everyone was like you smell so good, what are you wearing? So there you go..Vanilla, patchouli, powder..whatever attracts. Here is the thing though to the young ladies that mock the classics , you stick to the modern ones that way we stand out.

In love with anything with the pink pepper being the top note or at least one of the top ones. Greatest pink pepper blend I've encountered is combined with jasmine. A body spray from Italy by Eau Des Alpes is extremely incredible. Any scent of theirs was always unique and wonderful but jasmine rose pepper is just flawless. Nearly impossible to find since all this globalism crap is swallowing up many companies you won't find eau des alpes on the web anymore. CVS had it in 2014 and then it disappeared and some online had it then it just vanished but did find it in Italy although it's no longer being produced tragically. Got 6 bottles shipped fedex express since Italy's postal service is apparently worse than ours if that's believable. Many say they never see orders from Italy and because of their dumb shipping method it's expensive. Cheapest is $27 but fedex express is $48. Got it in less than a week and had the extra money so you bet I bought it. Supposedly expired in 2019 but not at all weakened. It has strong memory attachment for me as well but its flawlessness popped even before that happened.

The reason I dislike BR 540 is because it straight up smells like a hospital on me, it had such an unpleasant, chemical, plasticky note that I had to literally wash it off. I am so jealous of those that get the burnt sugar though, that sounds beautiful and I wanted to love it, but it does have a very different reaction depending on your skin-very love it or hate it!

The best antique Guerlain is not Shalimar but rather, the haunting Vol de Nuit (Night Flight, named over a novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of "The Little Prince.") It came out originally in the 1930s iirc. It was Katharine Hepburn's favorite for many years. I can't even describe it. It's an oriental chypre, spicy with a gorgeous floral heart and fierce galbanum and narcissus top notes. It's very vintage but just so, so mysterious and beautiful, and it lingers for days--the sillage is gentle though, never overpowering. The notes are beautifully defined and the drydown is my favorite part, so warm and cozy with spicy sandalwood and oak moss. I think it deserves a revival, though I know some modern women would not like it as it's not sweet enough. Most perfumes nowadays are almost sickly sweet...though sometimes, I admit I like that, as with La Vie Est Belle. But Vol de Nuit makes me feel like a 1940s movie star from a deep, dark film noir...and who wouldn't like that?

Agree with all of them except La Vie Est Belle, Cloud and Viva La Juicy (specifically Gold Couture). Those three are absolutely beautiful to my senses and I think a lot of the hate they get is to do with their popularity (that being said lasting power and one’s individual tolerance for sweetness are valid reasons). I personally can’t usually wear gourmands (I get really bad migraines), but LVEB is the only heavy gourmand I can handle and truly adore. The first two hours it’s a bit nauseating, but after that mark it settles into such a lovely warm and comforting sweetness. Cloud triumphs over BR540 by far. It is the perfect airy type of sweet without that repulsive medicinal quality. Viva la Juicy Gold couture is something I wear when I want to feel girly and not put much effort in. It’s such a great caramel, feminine scent! I love it and I’m not ashamed. I don’t get the negative stigma surrounding it. My aunt has worked in the medical field for the last twenty years and although she doesn’t wear it around her patients for obvious reasons, it’s her signature scent and all I can smell on her😂

I think it comes down to personal preference in terms of perfume strength. Sometimes perfumes makes us sick. I personally like the depth of black opium but not necessarily the strength of LVEB. Libre is a nice perfume and I get the hype, but because of how strong it is, I wouldn’t wear it personally. Narciso for her EDT is my all time favorite, I guess it could be the musk that some don’t like? Perfumes are so personal that it is very hard to make something that would please everyone :).
