the WORST fragrances of all time

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

I don’t agree with black opium , it may be basic but it doesn’t stink 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@fernandaaysey.5345]

I agree! My husband likes😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@yanasy3556]

​@@fernandaaysey.5345 of course. Perfumes do not stink.

[@oshifish2]

I love it! I think it has its own vibe with the coffee note. Has it been worn a million times, yes, but it doesn't stink!

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

@ 💯♥️yes 😁

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

@ mine too 🥰💯

[@bodacioustness5054]

People need to remember that formulations of the "classics" have changed since Marilyn Monroe wore them. Most of the old accords/note are now synthetic. So, it's not possible to smell like her or like the flappers.

[@yasmindavidson5171]

Ahhh, I love No 5 , Angel and also Shalimar. Many of the classics get a bad press I think, and also age demographic / country are other factors. No 5 for French women across all ages is still very popular today.

[@smcruz9803]

Classics are classics for a reason. I think people who don't know how to appreciate the classics or how they shaped perfumery are the ones who need to jump between launches in the blink because so called hype fragances. Shalimar, No5 and even Angel are beautiful in their own way. Erba Pura and Instant Crush, however, are trash and need to be forgotten.

[@Dom113456]

As someone who is a LOYAL Angel lover and wearer…I’ve gotten extreme reactions on both ends of the spectrum. I’ve had people chase me down and legit smell my shoulders and gush about how amazing I smell. On the other hand I’ve had people call my boss and go off about how I smell like B.O and I should be fired for wearing that fragrance!! I’ll never stop loving my one love ✨😘

[@TheScented]

That's wild! I've never had reactions that extreme, but I can relate to people having strong opinions on fragrances.

[@frankiefavero1666]

I can believe that! I will always love and own Alien, but I can not wear it anymore. My friend and coworker also loves it and wears it everyday; sometimes it smells like gourmand heaven and others like bad bo... on the same person at different times of the same day! That is why I cannot wear it anymore, it can turn on you!

[@BrighterThanYours]

Yes yes everyone please hate and stop wearing no5 and give me your bottles for disposal

[@yahainHotPink]

😂😂😂😂

[@KarolM1964]

Lol. I like too.

[@DonaGeek]

Haha I love Blakc Opium! This is a fun video ❤ you should do hyped up fragrances that you personally hate lol

[@TheScented]

Haha that's a good idea! I'll do that soon :)

[@triwri77]

Yess 🙌🏻 ​@@TheScented

[@4seasonsyearound]

I love libre le parfum I’m wearing it. Perfumes are subjective and smell different to every person. Wear what you like.

[@dqyler]

I was so surprised seeing this on the list, the libre line is phenomenal, it doesn't smell masculine in any way...

[@Alinonmus]

All the perfumes you mentioned smell good if used correctly. I have never come across a perfume that smells disgusting. Yes, there are scents that I don't like, but when people wear them, I don't act dramatic. Remember, there are people who love the smell of dirty socks and underwear, and at the same time, they themselves say that the smell of a certain perfume makes them sick and want to vomit! (I noticed that this type of people is more common in Western countries.)

[@me4011]

Sorry you can't correct my nose, I smell what I smell 🤢 but you may love it, we're all different no need to pretend we all should like the same olfactories ❤

[@kefinkamed]

Shalimar is a beautiful classic, as is Chanel No. 5. The reason people may hate it is either because they are way too young to like them (and I don't mean this in a derogatory way, these perfumes are famous for being more appreciated by people as they get older) or because they have imagined them differently based on the immense hype these perfumes carry. Personally, I tend to hate fragrances that are overused (both in terms of the amount of people wearing them and the level of overspraying they usually do) - Libre is one of them for sure, but Sauvage by Dior and Coco Mademoiselle are my most despised ones. And it has nothing to do with the scents themselves, I've simply grown too sick of them to enjoy them anymore 🤷‍♀️

[@Persefone94]

Yeees… that is not hating the fragrance, though. I do not necessarily wear LVEB, but for what it is it is original and genius.

[@Persefone94]

People that smell like semi rotten bakery goods need to learn a bit more about fragrances. This is why I love Demi Rowling: She understands that one can love all types of niche, gorumands, classics, and celebrity scents. Quality is quality.

[@leannkaattari1647]

My grandmother wore Shalimar, and I love it.

[@WilmaFistdu65]

I love it too

[@janehess6607]

Love Shalimar. Used to test it out when I was a teenager long ago. Don’t wear it frequently now. My husband bought me Chanel No 5 as one of my first gifts while we dated. Good memories with both. Went through an Angel phase in the 90s. I do wear Black Opium le Parfum these days. Am a vanilla lover. I have never liked Libre. That’s a big no.

[@triton4411]

I love Black Opium but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't "get" Chanel no 5. I remember when I still exclusively used cheap celebrity perfumes when I was younger and figured I'd finally try out good quality perfumes like a proper adult and chose to try Chanel no 5 because it was supposed to be the most iconic scent that pretty much every Hollywood star used (at least in the past). I sprayed it, felt nauseous immediately and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me - it was horrible. Other honorable mentions: Anything by Mugler with the word "Alien" in it and BR540. I agree about Tom Ford "Black Orchid" as well. Erba Pura I find quite likable actually although it is way overpriced. Also a beastmode fragrance so I can see how this can get overly cloying easily.

[@beautyhealthylife]

I agree with Erba pura and santal 33 🤢 However, I love Angel! It reminds me of my mom. It will always have a place in my heart 😢

[@littledove4984]

Couldn’t agree more and I have a few to add. Estée Lauder - Spellbound & Youth Dew Jo Malone - Red Roses & Oud Jean Paul Gaultier - Classique Agent Provocateur - Eau Emotionnelle Agent Provocateur Elizabeth Arden - Sunflowers Donna Karan - DNKY YSL - Opium (Original) Worth - Je Reviens Charlie - Charlie (Original) Chanel - No19, Coco, Allure, No 5 Jean Platou - Joy

[@kitkat7491]

Agree with them all, Agent Provocateur gives me violent headaches! And Spellbound, UGH so sweet. Just the thought of some of these makes me nauseated 😮

[@roniharduf2192]

People are crazy, Libre is amazing.

[@TheScented]

I love Libre

[@kitkat7491]

I love it too!

[@puffinsmom738]

Love Angel. It’s been my go to this week. Smells like a vanilla macaroon

[@nwetyinwin3788]

I don't know about YSL Libre perfume but I'm in love with the YSL Libre Intense! And yes, I don't like Chanel No. 5 too!

[@gardenia8803]

I confess I don't like BR540 but I never smelled the real thing. Only dupes. I might have to finally break down and get a sample to confirm my hatred.😂 It's that hospital vibe that puts me off it.

[@island661]

It smells good. More masculine

[@onlyjesussaves840]

The original Opium is so very much worst than the Black Opium. I remember when it came out in 1977, I was 14 then. It's a spice bomb oriental scent, & that's all you get w/it. I hated it then, & well always will. ;) BUT the bottle is one of the neatest bottles I have ever seen! It's got a black cord going across the top in/of the cap. I never understood that, but is very intriguing.

[@tonjamarshall4842]

Get out of town.

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

I bought YSL Black Opium because so many people described it as a vanilla latte and I don’t know if I got a different perfume. It smells like jasmine and a bit of bright musk. There’s no coffee and vanilla at all for me 😢

[@Twokays13]

I hate instant crush!! It just smells like chemicals!! I don’t hate Br540, it’s not my preferred scent profile. It just smells airy

[@TheScented]

I totally agree :)

[@claudiaimmerzeel5415]

Totally agree about Shalimar

[@mizzchoc10]

Currently wearing Portrait of a Lady. It smells intoxicating-rich, opulent, unforgettable. I wish to buy a full bottle but its so expensive.

[@sarahc6004]

Try the Oakcha dupe. It's almost identical.

[@Allison-lh9lq]

Tom Ford Black Orchid is polarizing. Definitely agree!

[@lisawithans]

Sinks! 😂

[@janmariebrunette-hunyady1386]

Estee Lauder Youth Dew. Gag inducing.

[@malloryjines5050]

It was my mother’s favorite and I wore it for years! But I love many Estée Lauder scents.

[@retro000]

I agree all Estee Lauder to me are just awful. White Linen is THE WORST TO ME

[@minxella12]

I know someone that smelled like a flower garden wearing it, it did not agree with my chemistry.

[@sueleica3705]

[@eastriverspirit]

Did you do a video on Armani’s Si Passione Intense? ❤ reallllyyy want to know your thoughts on it! 🙏🏼❤️

[@christinalucas5540]

I love Chanel no 5 l’Eau and many other Chanel perfumes. I’m gonna keep enjoying it! I keep trying Libre and flankers and well, it’s ok, but I didn’t even consider buying a travel spray. As for Angel, I enjoy the Eau de toilette better than the perfume. Great video, thank you!

[@MissKD_Kat_MN]

I agree. I have 5 different Chanel perfumes, I love each and every one of them for different occasions. Chanel Noir Chef kiss for evening wear

[@LuciaChambers1]

I went through four bottles of Angel! I still have a half bottle of Angel but never wear it... now I wear Amouage perfumes including Lyric Woman and lancome Poeme (discontinued). That BR540 was the worst perfume I've ever sniffed. I have a brand new Chanel No 5 soap I can't stand and keep thinking I should throw out.

[@roxw7221]

I agree with all of those. Erba Pura I smelled in store, but don't remember strongly disliking it. Sadly Santal 33 ruined sandalwood for me for years. I avoided sandalwood after that scent. Recently I found I love sandalwood after trying (and buying) Santal Vanille (7 Virtues). I have a blind buy of Santalum by Chloe on the way. Now I am searching out sandalwood scents. Any suggestions?

[@TheScented]

A couple of my favourite sandalwood fragrances are Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule and Olfactive Studio Lumière Blanche

[@Aganazee]

I get tons of compliments whenever I wear Black Orchid. It's a fave that stays in my rotation. Angel used to be a favorite. So much so that I ended up getting the tall star because I got tired of refilling the small star. That also was a heavy compliment-getter for me. I think it may have been reformulated because the last bottle I bought didn't smell as good as the many bottles I've bought over the years.

[@aliciaahlvers8741]

I get so many complements of Libre. I also like BR540. I think half the hate for these is that too many people like it, making it not unique enough for people.. Santal 33 and Instant Crush are really not my vibe. Erba Pura, Shalimar and Chanel #5 also don't do it for me but I don't hate them. I haven't smelled the Mugler in so long I can't say if I would like it now or not. It used to be too strong for me.

[@ChristineInNornia]

POAL is scrumptious😍

[@chrissieberrill9943]

I thought I was the only one that could not stand Erba Pura! I tried and coughed and coughed, to this day one of the only things I have washed off (after which it still got me)!. It is so raved about, I honestly thought I was going mad....

[@loribreitbarth2215]

I have Libre and Black Opium and BR540 I like them 😮. Just got Instant Crush in the mailbox today and Black Orchid sample on the way. 😢 Why didn’t you do this video last week so you could have saved me 😂. Just kidding…thanks for the video ❤

[@cielomcmeekin7296]

You may love them though. I was sad to see erba Pura on bc I'm getting the gold edition dupe to have my fiance n I try it but I'm going to try it for myself.

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

Joop, extremely bad headache! Thought I liked it in the 90’s, but still caused bad headaches.

[@danieljalomojr5856]

Me too. I loved JOOP in the 90's, now I can't stand it. I actually quit wearing it in the 90's because one of my coworkers "copied" me and I could not stand how it smelled on him. So I stopped wearing it too.

[@smeshd4519]

YSL Libre gives me the WORST headaches. All I can smell is the lavender and it smells super masculine to me. I have a full bottle of it and use it as toilet spray. I wanted to love this perfume so badly and even tried mixing it with other scents.Baccarat Rouge I can’t stand either all I can smell is this weird dirty water scent which is another perfume I’ve wanted to love badly.

[@880me]

[@JoeShanMac]

I do NOT get the hype for Coco Mademoiselle. It literally makes me gag. To me, Chanel’s patchouli DNA smells like musty mildew…that fragrance reminds me of a box of mildewed clothes stuffed in an attic for years and someone opened it, then sprayed a ton of a generic citrusy cleaning product to try to cover the pungent aroma.

[@labrat44]

I remember I asked for Coco Mademoiselle for Christmas one year because I thought it was so "mature" and much cooler than what I was wearing at the time. Every time I sprayed it I felt a wave a nausea come over me and thought I was being dramatic. I *sometimes* like it on other people, but for the most part it's just downright bad.

[@JoeShanMac]

@@labrat44😂😂 I sometimes wonder if it’s just my skin chemistry and maybe it smells good on other people?!?! It must smell better on someone else because otherwise, I have no clue why it is so popular!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@labrat44]

@JoeShanMac it's funny because I ended up giving it to my mom, and I remember going to see her one day and thinking she smelt so nice. So I asked "wow mom what fragrance are you wearing!?", and she replied with "what do you mean!? The one you gave me... coco!". So it MUST smell nice on others, and my chemistry is just not for it 😂

[@JoeShanMac]

@@labrat44 same! When my hubby walked past me when I wore it, he said “oh no! There’s something really musty in here! And was digging through the closet sniffing everything 🤣.. had to let him know it was me and he told me “I’m sorry but that smells bad…please don’t wear it around me again” 🙃

[@haruno21]

I also hate Angel. That damn fragrance started a horrendous trend of overwhelming gourmands. And now baccarat rouge started the horrendous trend of zaffron in perfumes 🤮 I love Libre, so I'm ok it's on #11 ...least hated

[@melissa-its8lissa]

I get so many compliments when I wear YSL Libre Flowers & Flame. I had someone follow me at work (nothing creepy though) just to tell me I smell so good they just wanted to smell me more 😂 Either way, it’s such a great scent for anyone who isn’t crazy about fruity scents.

[@kitkat7491]

I love that one! Just bought it ❤

[@cynthiaranucci4683]

My sister, my daughter, and I smelled BR540 at Saks, and all of us had an instantaneous visceral reaction of repulsion to it!

[@Nitra813]

I believe BR540 is one of those scents that develop on the skin and will either smell very good or nausea inducing depending on who wears it. Same with Black Opium. I hated both BR540 and BO on myself but absolutely LOVED it on my husband.

[@happygoluckystar8069]

Totaly agree! Same with me 😂

[@PREPFORIT]

DaRn I missed that post. I also think that the more popular a fragrance the more likely it was worn by an ex. We will always hate that scent. The worst not expensive scent from highschool/University was Exclamation by Coty. It was like nail polish remover and dead flowers.

[@rlnstn9300]

Please do a video on amber perfumes??? I remember when I was a teenager in the 80's and I went into a head shop. There was a small wooden box on the counter and inside was a chunk of real amber resin. Omg I've never forgotten how it smelled!! Sweet and slightly smoky. I almost wanted to eat it lol.

[@CiCiGourmand]

I'm shocked to not see La Vie et belle on this list? It usually gets so much hate.

I'm surprised too! I only got a couple of votes for La vie est Belle

[@lilym.6840]

I pretty much love more than half of this list! There are a couple scrubbers for me, but overall I own and love most of them! Although it did take two or three tries for me to really get Angel, but once I did, I adored her! I wore her a lot when my kids were all little and now all of them have 50ml personalized engraved bottles to keep around because they said the smell reminds them of me and the good times we had when they were young.

I got some shalimar years ago, it's was sweet vanilla scent. The ingredients were changed so I have no idea what it smells like now. I know people that love love love Chanel no. 5, it smelled like kaa kaa on me. I like the original opium, my husband didn't want me to wear anything else. Most of these I never heard of.

[@Nitra813]

Black Orchid was my first “high end” fragrance and it was loved by all. I worked at a school as an advisor and sprayed a bit on my neck and i was always walking back and forth through the halls. I remember when the bell rang and students were outside my room saying out loud “Damn somebody good!” I even had teachers follow my scent trail to my room, walk through the door and say “It was You!” 😅 Something about it just says “I got this” and set the mood of my day. I used it up so fast 😂 I learned that it’s best to spray it on about 45 minutes before I got to work so those harsh top notes wore off and I could enjoy the dry down for hours!

[@mayragonzalez3510]

I have loved most of the BR540 dupes. Have gone through a few bottles, different brands. So I’d love to have the original 😍 I really tried to like Libre or any of the flankers and it’s just meh for me. I enjoy Black Opium and my fave is Le Perfum version. I have a lotion of Santal 33 and I don’t get the pickle smell, but I don’t love it to buy it especially at that price. I don’t like CH GG but I like the Supreme and Blush version.

[@beatrizsandoval4395]

I have not smelled all the ones mentioned here but of the ones I have I only agree with Santal 33. I smelled it and did not like it even though I love woody perfumes. Of the rest I have and happen to love Tom Ford Black Orchid, Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait, Black Opium, Portrait Of a Lady and Chanel N° 5 the pure Parfum. This last 2 you have to wear them on special occasions on my opinion.

[@caitlinmcgowan2433]

First time I smelt libre. It was popular in the older co workers 50 and up and I'm mid 30 . I didn't like it as much but with the hype and mother in law asking me to get a bottle for her I smelled it up close and HATED IT I tried everything to wash it off my hands. Even my husband said it reminded him of an elderly care home

[@palmtrees1294]

Okay! Black Orchid is ONLY popular because Kim K said she wore it somewhere in some interview one time! ( And the world went wild! lol ) But her one perfume, that original round purple one? It smelled like I found an OG juicy Couture bottle in a fall out shelter after the world ended, and someone spilled rancid grape jelly in the bottle somehow too lol! So.. let’s just say I’ve only smelled black orchid by accident & not purposely lol

[@MalgorzataMcinerney-jx2qb]

I agree with most of them except for Shalimar and Chanel N 5 and of course Libre. I think the classics are misunderstood as they contain the most natural ingredients that could simply smell like nature. The modern perfumes are mostly synthetic and classics also got reformulated, probably not enough though. All perfumes are masterpiece creations and for some being still on sale more than a century after their creation means something so let's have a respect.

[@tonyakruid2095]

So agree with Erba Pura. To my nose it smells like rotting fruit. Not a fan of BR40 either, I get dentist's office.

In my opinion Alien is very nauseating. I used to love BR540 but honestly now it smells like hookah with some iodine to me.

Hahaha now that you mention that comparison I won't be able to unsmell it 😅

So happy that chemically woody amber bombs made the top of the list! 🥳 As for Shalimar...😐who do I need to fight first? 🥊🤣 Ding ding. 😉

[@TheScented]

Haha😅 seriously though, I want to understand how some people can't smell that chemical stab

[@justaddlight]

@@TheScented Maybe they haven't had covid enough times. 🤭 But when you've been around rubbing alcohol in the lab long enough, the scent eventually becomes readily distinguishable. Let evolution continue!

"This is what my headaches smell like" 🤣🤣🤣

The fragrance that I don't like is Montale Vanilla cake. It smells so strongly metallic and chemically, that it makes the whole fragrance unbearable. The Victoria secret's Bare Vanilla actually got that vanilla cake fragrance that Montale was trying to have, without those metallic and chemical disturbances. But due to my encounter with Montale Vanilla cake, I don't gravitate towards Bare Vanilla also.😅😊

Purchased Angel 6 times and sold every one, smells great on others but straight up bo on me. Erba pura smells so cheap, I wore once and in a pharmacy queue men were saying it stank of hairspray in the chemist.

Falcon Leather by Matiere Premiere made me run out of the store to get fresh air 😂🥴

[@JessHenderson-pj7zq]

Erba pura for sure, Amouage guidance close second.

A few that made the list I do not hate, but they make me feel ill. YSL Libre EDP and Black Opium. I do hate TF Metallique (how is it spelled again?) and MAC Velvet Teddy and Michael Kors Gorgeous!
