If you like a fragrance wear it, don't worry what other people say. The only time I had a bad reaction to something I was wearing I was at a shopping centre, standing behind a middle aged woman on an escalator when she turned around and said "whatever you are wearing stinks" so I replied back with "so does your breath" and walked past her.

[@christopherpowell9220]

All of these are quality fragrances, but I think we sometimes overestimate the tolerance of fragrance normies to new scents. I usually spray about half the "recommended" amount of a fragrance for precisely this reason-- negative compliments are just a lot weightier than positive ones. Also, just as with positive reactions, a lot of people won't tell you that you reek of perfume. They'll just label you as the too much cologne guy forever in their head. And that single negative impression will steamroll a dozen positive ones. If I get compliments on a fragrance from across a large room, it actually gets the alarm bells going for me. Scent clouds aren't meant to be that big. Honestly, I've gotten great compliments from frags like Dior Home with just one spray. No worries of offending people, but whenever I would go in for a hug or close the frame in a couples dance, my partners would give amazing compliments from a much closer distance. And it makes people actually want to come closer to you and stay there. If she can smell you loud and clear from across the room, what's the enticement to close the distance? The other thing is we don't pay enough attention to skin chemistry. A "universally loved" frag can become unbearable on the wrong skin. I learned this the hard way with Boss The Scent private accord. That maninka fruit smells like rotting vegetables off my skin, yet amazing off my friend's. Please please never blind buy. Not even "safe" frags. And always test off your skin, getting second opinions when possible. Anyway, awesome vid man. Glad this channel exists.

My wife hates everything that isn’t a plain Jane freshie. Anything that comes close to a tobacco scent is a “wet ashtray”. Or “smells like a ton of cigarettes was put out in a half full beer can and it’s sitting there”… So Versace the Dreamer (one of my favs) Insurrection II Wild, Pure Havane… She’s gotten to the point where she’ll assume that what ever new fragrance I’ve gotten has tobacco in it and she’ll swear she smells tobacco. She’s like trying to be preemptively disgusted. No babe, this is Aqua Di Gio, see? It’s a freshie.. Oh yeah that’s nice! Freaking hater..

Oud fragrances are hard to pull off. I wore TF Oud Wood and i got mixed reactions. Only one person likes it and the other 5 said I smelled like I killed an animal. It was 100F in Vegas so I do understand the heat might play a role.

[@redd2147]

Universally loved can never go wrong unless it’s a skin chemistry issue or (more realistic to happen), the wearer didn’t take a shower and decided to cover their old skin cells, sweat dried up from sleeping and musky natural odour, with fragrances. Lastly, the overspray habit/issue. But then again, the 2nd reason is mostly the cause of terrible smell feedback.

I just got Versace L'homme yesterday. I put it on today to give it a second go and as I was leaving my house I applied an extra panic spray because I had changed shirts since my initial application. Well in my meeting my eyes were watering and I just kept thinking I wonder if everyone secretly hates me right now. Or maybe it's because I layered up my neck and it's just beaming into my face. Well, I do like the scent but I'm looking for a stand out daily signature and overall I'm going to return it but I'm glad I gave it a spin. Maybe in the future I'll buy it again.

[@lazyname4130]

a female coworker told me my fragrance was pleasant but too strong and you can smell me miles away. I was wearing Light blue eau intense. I did NOT overspray ( I guess 3 sprays at home) and I got really offended and embarrassed. Since then I haven't worn it in closed areas anymore.

[@keineinteresse5813]

tbf light blue eau intense is quite strong I think, but just put one or two spray on your neck and it should be fine

I walked into one of the rooms to drop off their parts and it was full of a bunch of old women. Immediate gagging and overreacting. One lady said it smelled like I laid in a cedar thicket before I came to work. I replied, no hunting season was still 2 months away this is just what a real man smells like.
