If an influencer doesn’t dislike any fragrances, I don’t trust them. My assumption is that at worst they’re lying, and at best they have an extremely broad palette (and I don’t) so I can’t use any of their recommendations.
I also don’t like it when every new release is a “must have”. Some get it for free but it’s hard when you have to fork out $200-400 of your own money. I always listen to multiple RUclipsrs, read Fragrantica and reddit reviews before committing.
@@niklaus009I've been doing some of the perfume subscriptions, where you get enough of a perfume to last you a month. That's really helped me decide what to commit to after having watched all the reviews. If you're only going to wear something for special occasions too, you can just reorder it when it's almost out without having to commit to buying a full bottle of a 200 perfume. I'm making much better purchases now. Rather than accumalating a huge collection of stuff I never wear. 😂
Exactly. Some people enjoy being offended by everything like they're getting a medal in the Olympics for it or something. God forbid if you don't like the same fragrance\tv shows\food etc as they do...
To me, an unsafe blind buy is the price point. Blanche Bete, MFK, Amouage, PDM, all designer Prive/ Private collections etc… for that kind of money, there’s no room for the slightest bit of mediocrity for me. I need to love it.
“Normalize not liking” perfumes… yes!!! We need to remember that olfactory perception is SUBJECTIVE and your opinion does not have authority over someone else’s opinion about it. To each his own. Blanche Bete gets me SO many compliments from BOTH men and women of all ethnicities. Honestly one of my top fragrances. Lactonic/white florals really love my body chemistry. Most niche fragrances don’t require body chemistry to smell good and usually don’t change from person to person but lactonics do. I’m typically very warm so is heats up on my body to where I’ve been told I smell alluring and hypnotic. I never thought lactic would ever smell good on me, but they do so take all of it with the grain of salt.
Love that you’re adamant about maintaining a safe space for differences. Different experiences is what makes this so beautiful and fun. Don’t be a fun-sucker guys lol 💙
The funniest comment about my Naxos Xerjoff by a 6 year old “It smells like my uncle, so stinky!” My thoughts were - I know him and he is a very sophisticated man who ALWAYS smells great😂
I haven’t tried all on this list but I cast my vote for Chanel No 5, black Opium, Libre, Delina, Good Girl, Alien and I’d add all the Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances in the body shaped bottles. Vintage perfumes I hate include Samsara, Giorgio, Amarige. That’s just a start!
Delina I was so excited for and it smelled so strong of rose I couldn’t stand it. Even my dad said it smelled like old lady. I guess I don’t really like rose notes. I don’t care for Libre or Chanel anything either
I LOVE how subjective scent is. This video was such a great idea and your message/disclaimer is so true!! I would have to add to the list all Montale/Mancera perfumes... I've tried a handful of them, and unfortunately they've all been scrubbers. I've tried macerating, different weather, clothing vs skin, and nothing has worked for me. I wanted to love Velvet Vanilla so much, but there's a synthetic note that just pierces through all of the notes that I cannot get on board with. And this is unfortunately the same for all of the other scents I've tried from them. Such a great video!!! Thanks for shedding some light on normalizing disliking big name fragrances.
Black Orchid is the fragrance that made me commit to no longer blind buying anything. It was a scrubber for sure, one spray almost choked me out, and it made my head hurt. I couldn't get it off my skin fast enough. Oh god, it was horrible. So strong, and to me it smelled like a mixture of alchopop vomit, stale cigarette smoke, cheap sex and regrets. I gave it away.
I also think that maybe people have not tried too many perfumes. Because if D&G Devotion is a "scrubber" for them, then maybe they haven't tried a wide variety of fragrances. 😬🤷♀️ ... and there isn't anything wrong with that either. But I always consider the source when taking recommendations too. For myself personally*

I like the Libre line, but I’ve come to realize that lavender can give me a headache, and for some reason the lavender in the edt didn’t do that so that’s the one I went with in the end 🥰
Good morning Jackie. 💛 I like Coco Madamoiselle, but I recently discovered that I LOVE Coco! Love Libre Intense, and Le Parfum. I never tried the OG. I also still love the original Opium, a fragrance from my 30s. 😊 I actually get a body odor smell from BR540!😳 My scrubbers are: Initio Side Effect, Mancera Red Tobacco, and all of the Angels and Aliens! I detest them all!😂 This was fun hearing about the opinions of others. I thoroughly believe in people being able to voice their dislike of fragrances without fear of censure! Thank you. Have a great weekend 💛
Yeah I don’t understand the hype around Side Affect. I hold onto my sample and smell periodically. I still hate it. I smelled Alien next to a high quality jasmine niche frag and Alien straight up smells like latex. I can’t not smell latex now. Lol
I’m watching this at 2:30 am. I must be overly tired and easily amused. My inner child giggles when i hear ”scrubber parfume” ( ”scrubber” has a specific meaning in British slang ). Great video! I wish there was a video with influencers insulting each others fragrances ( regardless of how they actually feel ). Roasting each others tastes. A relief from all the ”panty dropper” routines. Thank for a bit of nuance! 👍
I honestly love this topic. It’s very annoying when people get triggered by someone else disliking a fragrance they love…some ppl are too much. I agree with some of these to a point: Oud Satin Mood isn’t necessarily a scrubber, I can tolerate it, but I don’t like it, it’s just a mess of a scent. Black Orchid is a weird one for me, sometimes I love it, other times I hate it…more often than not it’s a hate. BR540 is one that I love the opening of, but after a few minutes I hate it. Chanel no5, is a no on me, but I like it on others. Vanilla Milk is good on paper, but on skin something comes out that I just can’t deal with. Good Girl is a scrubber, I have no idea why it gets hyped, imo, it’s awful. The others, I either don’t know, or I like/love. The worst fragrances I’ve ever smelled are probably Santal 33 by Byredo and Ambre Fétiche by Annick Goutal.
Hey gorgeous Jackie! I love Oud Satin Mood but I can see how it might be polarizing. Some people get too much Oud and it’s powdery on your skin. It must really agree with my skin chemistry, since I don’t get much Oud or powderyness lol. It’s usually the other way around for me. This one is a rarity ❤❤
i’m so glad someone hater black orchid as much as me and smells the “death” notes in it lmao. I remember year and years ago smelling it in sephora for the first time after seeing so much hype for it and i didn’t spray it on me, so it wasn’t my body chemistry, but simply took off the lid and sniffed the bottle and have NEVER EVER had such a physical reaction to a perfume in my life. I convulsed lmao. I wanted to barf. It totally does smell like something is dead and rotting and for the life of me I want to know why some people clearly love it and some people smell decay lmao 😂
I understand how people might love or hate a fragrance - makes sense. What intrigues and surprises me is when people smell weird or unique notes that have never ever EVER occurred to me, not in a million years 🤷🏼♀️ cracks me up! It’s bizarre and amazing how we humans can interpret a note or acord so drastically differently. I don’t always agree, but I do love reading and hearing reviews/opinions. Especially when they are articulately expressed! Thanks for honestly sharing yours 👍🏻 and yeah Erba Pura phew! 🤢
Wow, I love Angel! It's my all time favorite. I do understand how divisive it can be but I'm a patchouli fan. It's interesting how different scents can be interpreted.
Nooooo… not my Valaya!!! 😁😁😁 It’s my most complimented perfume I have!!! Oh well .. ☺️🤷♀️ On the other hand, I extremely hate Absolute Aphrodisiac by Initio 😢 .. I regret blind-buying this.. Can’t return it either since I ordered it from Paris. I don’t get it. It’s not even considered as “perfume” .. I’d rather use Downy Fabric Spray on me than this! 🤦♀️
A newly discovered scrubber for me is Akro Awake. So overwhelmingly strong and smells exactly like those “pancake and sausage on a stick” frozen things you can get at the grocery store. Just sickly sweet syrupy, sausage-like smell to me with a random layering of lemon. Just got done washing it off in the bathroom best I could, but can still smell it even now!
So funny, I really like nearly all of these on this list 😂. A few popular, well-made fragrances that were true scrubbers for me likely due to body chemistry- all smelled like rancid blue cheese-are Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady and most of Titziana Terensi line.
Great video! My interest in perfume is fairly new. When I hear oud can smell like rubbing alcohol and also smell barnyard, I’m confused. I’d love to see a video about oud in general and how it can vary so much.
I love how perfume is so subjective. How two people can smell a scent and have totally different takes. For me it’s any perfumes with amber. For some reason my nose hates amber.
I don’t find most of these to be scrubbers. I’m not a fan of most of them but they don’t repel me to the point where I need to rush to scrub it off. Some fragrances I’ve actually had to scrub off: -Burberry Her Elixir (turns sour on me) - Jo Malone Red Roses (a beautiful headache in a bottle ) -Alexandre J rose alba (smells like rose seasoning) -CH Good girl ( I actually like it but after a while it goes sour on my skin, shame)
Delina the OG wasn’t a scrubber immediately but I had to take it off because it was just irritating my nose. There’s something about the notes in that fragrance that don’t agree with my body chemistry or my senses.
I've never been a fan of Angel... but the elixir almost had me jumping over the counter and ringing myself up!... the le parfums, elixirs and intense versions of basic smelling perfumes are WAY better than the originals to me.
So when I first got into fragrances everybody was talking about YSL Libre intense. I kept sampling it because I wanted to like it because of the bottle but I just didn’t like it. I eventually sampled the original and decided I like it enough. I wore that fragrance one time and hated it. Every once in awhile I hear about a combo to try but I am too traumatized and I just don’t want to spray it at all. I don’t know what I’m going to do with that perfume. I really don’t like it.
I really enjoy Vanilla Milk! You would enjoy it too if you like lactonic fragrances. It is very similar to New Bond St by Bond No.9 (which is $460). When I wear this fragrance, people tell me I smell huggable and sensual.
A moldy oldie: My family was traumatized by my Mother's Estee Lauder's Youth Dew. She doused it on her. Literally made me ill.. 🤢 Also, Black Opium Le Parfum... Lovely! Black Opium the OG... no ma'am.
Youth Dew was my granny's signature scent. I bought her a gift set every Christmas! I have a bottle in my collection, in her memory. I sniff it from time to time, but I can't see myself wearing it.
I don't think it's even a taste thing with a lot of scents nowadays - I'm absolutely sure that modern aroma chemicals are why so many new hyped up perfumes are scrubbers - I'm one of the people who only smell chemicals in Bake, Devotion etc. I genuinely don't know what those smell like to other people because I can't percieve what the notes are supposed to smell like - it might aswell be Cif bathroom cleaner as far as my scent receptors can tell - Good Girl smells like creosote to me and apparently it's something called Veramoss (it's in so many modern perfumes!) And it sounds like Vanilla Milk might have that same chemical in it too - it's honestly everywhere but so many people can't smell it!
Not surprised about Blanche Bete as much as I love it. I can imagine it turning sour on people’s skin. I think I’m one of the very few that loves Shaghaf Oud. It’s not very popular in my household 😅😂
I tried very hard with Shaghaf Oud, but....... I can't. I just can't. However, I just saw that they will be releasing a flanker: Shaghaf Oud Tonka. Now That just might work! 🙃
Baccarat is a lifer❤❤ def a fan of erba pura.. smells beautiful on me.. I know people complain about the musk, but I like musk so it doesn’t bother me😊
I'm the same with Black Orchid. I yelled, "Ewww" so loud in the store people turned to see what was going on. Then Oud Satin Moud. Smells like Fermayldhyde animals. Then the other one I had to try and get off was Narcissi Rodriguez for her. It was the most pungent Patchouli on my skin.
I reallu enjoyed this video. Imo the one missing in this list is one of my personal foes, La Vie est Belle, as for the rest, all of them are here. I agree with Devotion, tried yesterday and couldn't wait to wash it out. Though I enjoy vanilla to an extent, too intense vanilla perfumes don't work for me. As for Coco Mademoiselle smelling like mildew I get it, it's how patchouli tranlates for some noses. And finally I agree, it's just perfume, Chanel is one my favorite houses and I love their perfumes but it doesn't offend me when people hate them.
I had to scrub off Billie Ilish 1 off, after 20 min after spraying it turned into a sour puke mixed with vanilla cake on my skin🤢. Another nightmare for me is Initio Side Effect, hate it even off others, at least first 30 min of application. For me it it a spicy chemical, alcohol and mechanical somehow. Some car coolant gone wrong. All the notes are usually very attractive, I love boozy notes
Delina original is a lifer.. I have exclusif and love it as well. I’m not a huge Chanel no5 lover, but I appreciate it. I am a fan of coco Chanel though❤
When I tried Rosendo Mateo 5 for the first time I thought is the worst perfume I ever put my nose on. Here I am, a year later I got a decant again, and I don’t know…I kinda like it 🙈 Its not as rubbery, more sweet and mysterious.
22:32 I HATE Guidance. I am soooo glad that I got a sample. It smells like straight up woody hazelnut on my skin and dare I say.. heavy and masculine. It’s beast mode.. I took a shower nearly 2 hrs ago and still smell it on my arm. 😷
I also hold on to samples for the most part. If I don't like something sometimes I'll revisit and it will be amazing. Happen to me several times already.
Black opium the original is my signature if I had to say I have one. Everytime I wear it there is always a compliment from a man on how good I smell. It never fails me EVER! If you want attention then that's the one you wear because its really grabs attention of men. People associate me with that scent too. I have le parfume and love that one as well! I get more compliments on the original to be honest because its louder and more people pick up on it which is followed by a "you smell like vanilla or you smell so good!" I dont mind people don't wear it or like it because at this point it smells original again because no one is wearing it like they used to. She's my ride or die, a guaranteed you smell good. If you didn't like the original then try the le parfume, shes real good too.
Ok, I agree with 15 of the 20. But 5 of them are in my top 10 for life 🥰: Coco Mademoiselle, Italica, Delina, BR540 and Erba Pura, for me Erba Pura is a super fresh and delicious summerscent😍love it! And I get so many compliments wearing it
Marc-Antoine Barrois ganymede extrait, i was gifted a very generous sample of this and ............ oh my goodness i couldn't scrub it off fast enough. I was wearing a wool sweater at the time and sprayed some onto the sleave. Now for context i try to not wash my wool sweaters( i prefer to hang them on the line and let them air out in the cold air) I smelled Ganymede on my sweater for days and days until i finally had to take it to the dry cleaners. I just can't get on with this scent. Straight up curry. I love to authentic curry to eat, not to wear as a perfume. Sorry not sorry. Happy New year!
I started binge watching you today and I really like your channel. I find myself agreeing with so many of your likes and dislikes. As much as I try not to take it personally, I must confess that it's harder on ones that I feel so strongly about like Blanche Bete. It's such a standout imo and I get tons of compliments when I wear it. Totally with you on Delina Exclusif. I absolutely love it but I strongly dislike regular Delina. I keep thinking there's something wrong because they should be similar yet they are night and day imo.@@jaxbeautifulyou
Blanche bete was an immediate scrubber, la vie est belle, black opium, Chanel no 5, Britney Spears midnight fantasy, Fancy by Jessica Simpson, bacarat rouge, and cloud were all scrubbers for me too 😂😂
LOVE MFK BR540 and YSL Babycat on this list. Delina is good but not full bottle worthy for me at this time. I have a sample of Valaya on the way to try out. Fingers crossed.
I really wanted to like the new Dolce and Gabanna. but mannn it smells nice for a sec in the opening then it smells like someone dumped a bowl of that syrupy canned fruit that people put in jello moulds on me! I felt like I had spilled it on my hand! Its just weird. It was almost shocking how it turned weird on me. Body chemestry is so facinating and that is why fragrance is so personal and you cant follow the heard on every one for sure!
The one that I blind bought and so regret is Audacity by Penhaligon…. It smells like rubber… like a tire shop. The other one I don’t like at all,that so many love, is Guidance…. Glad I got it on scent bird to try.
Love Baccaret Rouge once it dries down , at first smells to me like hospital/ medicinal . Not sure I’d buy the full bottle , love the Ariana grande dupe cloud
I really appreciate your thoughts on normalizing *not* liking perfumes especially hyped ones! I did not like Devotion! 😅 very "chewable vitamin C" to me 🤷🏻♀️ I tried my sample of Babycat again yesterday and I liked it better than I did the first time.. and when I came downstairs my husband loved it and thought I smelled like chocolate- no mention of eggs 😂.. although last week there was one I wore that he said smelled like steak with salt and pepper 😅
Re: burnt rubber notes, it might need to aerate/macerate. I had a blind buy rose musk frag that smelled incredibly disgusting. I sprayed it a few times over the course of several months, and right before I was about to throw it in the trash, it suddenly smelled exquisitely delicate and beautiful, not like motor oil at all.
Ok after watching the whole list, I'd say I'm just about split down the middle. About half of these I love or at least enjoy, and half I really quite dislike. Except I never did try Vanilla Milk because I was scared off by the reviews and I've never tried Erba Pura. Great video Jackie, loved the concept and the interactive nature of it.. very fun!
My top scrubbers would have to be MFK Oud Satin Mood and Gucci Rush I couldn’t bare either one and when I tried to give them to someone else everyone kindly declined crazy right? I love these kind of videos to hear other ppls thoughts on fragrances. I am surprised how high Black Orchid made the list because that’s my ultimate boss babe fragrance and if I had to pic 1 fragrance for the rest of my life it would be TF BO 🙌 ❤
Love that you said all that stuff about being honest about our taste!! I cant imagine getting offended someone doesn't like the same perfumes as me. I want them to leave more for me! Lol. 😂
Absolutely love Rosendo Mateu no 5 but I don’t get that rubbery, gasoline, burning note people talk about.. I’ve never gotten that.. thank God😊 I actually like alien and want a small bottle of it. I can’t do black orchid, it makes me nauseous .. but recently I smelled it and it was tolerable. I still don’t want a bottle of it. I tried the le parfum and it was not bad.😊
27:47 I went to a perfume store probably 10+ yrs ago and a lady there was trying to sell me a bottle of "Black Orchid". My response at first sniff.. "ewwww". I thought it smelled absolutely disgusting and haven’t smelled it since.
Most of these I agree with but a couple I do love, especially Valaya. I just bought a full bottle and both my husband and I love it on me. We are all so different and it’s okay!
I am shocked that Baccarat was a scrub off because I can’t even smell it. I don’t hate it but I definitely wouldn’t purchase it because I can barely smell it.
10:42 not a scrubber imho, but "Good Girl" is pretty unremarkable and I suspect that a lot of people like it for the bottle and how that shoe looks on their shelf. How much do they actually wear the fragrance though? 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t think Devotion was a scrubber personally but I do think it has a super gourmand scent. Some people really don’t like the realistic dessert smells. To me it was a bit lactonic and too foodie for me. Vanilla Milk on the other hand was actually atrocious hahaha to me anyways. I’m not a fan of lactonic scents as I just said but that perfume nearly smelled fermented to me. If I smelled that on someone I would straight up gag
Hey Jackie. I keep trying Coco Mademoselle but it’s a no. I can totally see people not liking Devotion. I love it but it’s giving prediabetes because it’s so sweet
I miss Bianco Latte in this list, i hate it so much, it makes me sick to the stomach, gives me a migraine and worst i could not scrub it off, like it followed me around😂
I can’t help but wonder if some of these perfumes are literally formulated differently and therefore, have different reactions from different people. Perhaps those that love certain scents got a good “batch,” and those that hate the same scent got a bad “batch..” Or maybe a supplier of a certain note was switched and it made all the difference.. or maybe a batch sat on a hot truck too long, or a cold truck too long. Just my thoughts because it’s hard to imagine professional perfumers would intentionally make horrid scents 😄
Me too. i hated Italica at first it made me so nauseous. But the second time I wore it, it so reminds me of Hawaiian Punch concentrate with a touch of almonds. YUMMMMY! ❤❤❤
Rosendo mateu 5 is fenominal vanilla. People say it is closed to babycat. Don't know did not try ysl. But Mateu 5 is a gem. I felt tires at the beginning but after 3 tries I don't feel it anymore. It is the best perfume I ever smelled. I have huge collection.
From the list i own Black Opium and Coco Mademoiselle, and I absolutely love them! I have got some compliments with them as well. Two perfumes that i can think of right now that were absolute scubbers were This is Her by Zaldig & Voltaire and L'interdit (the whole line). There were some other perfumes i completely disliked and had to wash them off, but those two are definetely the worst. I also wasn't a big fan on the Libre line, but i started to enjoy more the Le Parfum and the Intense version.
@@niklaus009 the moment i applied it I thought it was ok, but when it was drying down i just felt nauseous. I still don't know what bothered me exactly, but maybe it was just too sweet for my liking. My mom also hated it, but my sister loves it. I advise you to try it on your skin :)
YSL Black Opium, YSL Libre Intense, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle & Amouge Guidance are some of my favorites. Libre Intense & Guidance are top 10 for life. Guidance was a blind buy. Valentino Born in Roma Intense was also a blind buy and it is not my favorite. I wore one spray on my wrist and smelled it all day at work. I am going to try wearing it below the knees next time to see if I can stand it. Not a bad scent but way to much of something. I tried Tom Ford Black Orchid on in store and before I left decided it was not for me. If I ever find it on a major sale I will probably pick it up. It was a little more masculine on my skin.
If an influencer doesn’t dislike any fragrances, I don’t trust them. My assumption is that at worst they’re lying, and at best they have an extremely broad palette (and I don’t) so I can’t use any of their recommendations.
I agree 💯 it’s not possible to love everything.
I also don’t like it when every new release is a “must have”. Some get it for free but it’s hard when you have to fork out $200-400 of your own money. I always listen to multiple RUclipsrs, read Fragrantica and reddit reviews before committing.

I love naxos...fruity fresh
I haven’t tried all on this list but I cast my vote for Chanel No 5, black Opium, Libre, Delina, Good Girl, Alien and I’d add all the Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances in the body shaped bottles. Vintage perfumes I hate include Samsara, Giorgio, Amarige. That’s just a start!
I agree with all of the ones you mention, and I would like to add: everything Mugler came out with, and Chloe Nomade.
I wore one of the YSL Libre perfumes to work. My favorite coworker couldn't get away from me fast enough😢. I'm done with it. Too floral!
Delina I was so excited for and it smelled so strong of rose I couldn’t stand it. Even my dad said it smelled like old lady. I guess I don’t really like rose notes. I don’t care for Libre or Chanel anything either
I agree I hate Alien and all the flankers know a lot of people love them but my nose just does not smell it.

I struggle with a lot of montale/Mancera too. Not all, but many.

Linterdit intense for me. Absolutely turns my stomach even after several tries....
Good morning Jackie. 💛
I like Coco Madamoiselle, but I recently discovered that I LOVE Coco!
Love Libre Intense, and Le Parfum. I never tried the OG. I also still love the original Opium, a fragrance from my 30s. 😊
I actually get a body odor smell from BR540!😳
My scrubbers are: Initio Side Effect, Mancera Red Tobacco, and all of the Angels and Aliens! I detest them all!😂
This was fun hearing about the opinions of others. I thoroughly believe in people being able to voice their dislike of fragrances without fear of censure! Thank you.

Initio side effect was a total scrubber for me too! No ma’am 😆
Yeah I don’t understand the hype around Side Affect. I hold onto my sample and smell periodically. I still hate it.
I smelled Alien next to a high quality jasmine niche frag and Alien straight up smells like latex. I can’t not smell latex now. Lol

I honestly love this topic. It’s very annoying when people get triggered by someone else disliking a fragrance they love…some ppl are too much. I agree with some of these to a point: Oud Satin Mood isn’t necessarily a scrubber, I can tolerate it, but I don’t like it, it’s just a mess of a scent. Black Orchid is a weird one for me, sometimes I love it, other times I hate it…more often than not it’s a hate. BR540 is one that I love the opening of, but after a few minutes I hate it. Chanel no5, is a no on me, but I like it on others. Vanilla Milk is good on paper, but on skin something comes out that I just can’t deal with. Good Girl is a scrubber, I have no idea why it gets hyped, imo, it’s awful. The others, I either don’t know, or I like/love. The worst fragrances I’ve ever smelled are probably Santal 33 by Byredo and Ambre Fétiche by Annick Goutal.
Team Black Opium here, especially the le parfum ❤ scrubbers for me: Oud Satin Mood and Erba Pura!
A divisive fragrance is a good fragrance in my book, I'd rather hate or love than feel nnn. 😊
Ditto!
Totally agree. Polarizing scents are the ones I end up loving the most.
Hey gorgeous Jackie! I love Oud Satin Mood but I can see how it might be polarizing. Some people get too much Oud and it’s powdery on your skin. It must really agree with my skin chemistry, since I don’t get much Oud or powderyness lol. It’s usually the other way around for me. This one is a rarity ❤❤
That’s funny, I usually like powered fragrances, but this one is the exception. 🤣
Noooooo! Not Babycat!!!!😭😭😂😂🥴
But I absolutely agree with you about Guidance. It smells like straight up body odor on my skin🤢🤢🤢
I wish I got the beauty of babycat like so many others. I’m keeping my decant and will definitely try it again. ❤️
i’m so glad someone hater black orchid as much as me and smells the “death” notes in it lmao. I remember year and years ago smelling it in sephora for the first time after seeing so much hype for it and i didn’t spray it on me, so it wasn’t my body chemistry, but simply took off the lid and sniffed the bottle and have NEVER EVER had such a physical reaction to a perfume in my life. I convulsed lmao. I wanted to barf. It totally does smell like something is dead and rotting and for the life of me I want to know why some people clearly love it and some people smell decay lmao 😂
SAME!!! I scrubbed and scrubbed and could still smell the rot in my dreams (nightmares)!
I have a physical reaction to it too. It really does smell like death to me haha
@@jaxbeautifulyouneed to smell Black orchid again or buy sample as I like it but dare not buy it. 😂
I understand how people might love or hate a fragrance - makes sense. What intrigues and surprises me is when people smell weird or unique notes that have never ever EVER occurred to me, not in a million years 🤷🏼♀️ cracks me up! It’s bizarre and amazing how we humans can interpret a note or acord so drastically differently. I don’t always agree, but I do love reading and hearing reviews/opinions. Especially when they are articulately expressed! Thanks for honestly sharing yours 👍🏻 and yeah Erba Pura phew! 🤢
I love reading and hearing the opinions of others too. It’s pretty funny sometimes 😆
Wow, I love Angel! It's my all time favorite. I do understand how divisive it can be but I'm a patchouli fan. It's interesting how different scents can be interpreted.
I totally agree with you, Valaya is beautiful and it's on my spring wishlist😊❤
It's so good!
Nooooo… not my Valaya!!! 😁😁😁 It’s my most complimented perfume I have!!! Oh well .. ☺️🤷♀️
On the other hand, I extremely hate Absolute Aphrodisiac by Initio 😢 .. I regret blind-buying this.. Can’t return it either since I ordered it from Paris. I don’t get it. It’s not even considered as “perfume” .. I’d rather use Downy Fabric Spray on me than this! 🤦♀️
I love Valaya too…. And absolute aphrodisiac was a scrubber for me too! 😆 it smells dirty.
Guidance & RM5 are masterpieces in my book. And Babycat is quite a sweet mass pleasing vanilla to me lol. I ordered a bottle
Oh, I love Babycat, too! Couldn't afford a whole bottle, so I got a dupe which is 90% there (Rifaaqat by Paris Corner)
A newly discovered scrubber for me is Akro Awake. So overwhelmingly strong and smells exactly like those “pancake and sausage on a stick” frozen things you can get at the grocery store. Just sickly sweet syrupy, sausage-like smell to me with a random layering of lemon. Just got done washing it off in the bathroom best I could, but can still smell it even now!
I don’t care for awake either.
So funny, I really like nearly all of these on this list 😂. A few popular, well-made fragrances that were true scrubbers for me likely due to body chemistry- all smelled like rancid blue cheese-are Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady and most of Titziana Terensi line.
Frederic Malle smells like an old lady and body odor!!
I love Guidance but, I get it 😂😂😂😂
It smelled like BO on me. Literally like I had not showered in a week. 🤢
Great video! My interest in perfume is fairly new. When I hear oud can smell like rubbing alcohol and also smell barnyard, I’m confused. I’d love to see a video about oud in general and how it can vary so much.
Oud can smell a lot of ways depending on a lot of different factors. It is a tricky note for sure.
I love how perfume is so subjective. How two people can smell a scent and have totally different takes. For me it’s any perfumes with amber. For some reason my nose hates amber.
I don’t find most of these to be scrubbers. I’m not a fan of most of them but they don’t repel me to the point where I need to rush to scrub it off.
Some fragrances I’ve actually had to scrub off:
-Burberry Her Elixir (turns sour on me)
- Jo Malone Red Roses (a beautiful headache in a bottle )
-Alexandre J rose alba (smells like rose seasoning)
-CH Good girl ( I actually like it but after a while it goes sour on my skin, shame)
Delina the OG wasn’t a scrubber immediately but I had to take it off because it was just irritating my nose. There’s something about the notes in that fragrance that don’t agree with my body chemistry or my senses.
I don’t care for the rhubarb note.
This one hurt. Alien, Angel, and Mademoiselle are my 3 most used! I've gone through many Alien bottles. It's my top favorite 😢
I think Alien is loved just as much as it is disliked. A lot of people love it. I adore coco Mademoiselle. 💕
Yea Fleur Narcotique and Valaya were scrubbers for me. Smelled like I was sniffing a Sharpie 😂
Lmao a sharpie 😂 oh no 🙈
I've never been a fan of Angel... but the elixir almost had me jumping over the counter and ringing myself up!... the le parfums, elixirs and intense versions of basic smelling perfumes are WAY better than the originals to me.
Yes, normalize difference of opinion. I've always loved your authenticity now on to the list
I appreciate that! I know you are the same. ❤️
So when I first got into fragrances everybody was talking about YSL Libre intense. I kept sampling it because I wanted to like it because of the bottle but I just didn’t like it. I eventually sampled the original and decided I like it enough. I wore that fragrance one time and hated it. Every once in awhile I hear about a combo to try but I am too traumatized and I just don’t want to spray it at all. I don’t know what I’m going to do with that perfume. I really don’t like it.
I really enjoy Vanilla Milk! You would enjoy it too if you like lactonic fragrances. It is very similar to New Bond St by Bond No.9 (which is $460). When I wear this fragrance, people tell me I smell huggable and sensual.
A moldy oldie: My family was traumatized by my Mother's Estee Lauder's Youth Dew. She doused it on her. Literally made me ill.. 🤢 Also, Black Opium Le Parfum... Lovely! Black Opium the OG... no ma'am.
Youth Dew is a no for me too
Youth Dew was my granny's signature scent. I bought her a gift set every Christmas! I have a bottle in my collection, in her memory. I sniff it from time to time, but I can't see myself wearing it.
My mom also wore this and we almost puked every time.
@@llb2233 😂 same. And a headache..
I don't think it's even a taste thing with a lot of scents nowadays - I'm absolutely sure that modern aroma chemicals are why so many new hyped up perfumes are scrubbers - I'm one of the people who only smell chemicals in Bake, Devotion etc. I genuinely don't know what those smell like to other people because I can't percieve what the notes are supposed to smell like - it might aswell be Cif bathroom cleaner as far as my scent receptors can tell - Good Girl smells like creosote to me and apparently it's something called Veramoss (it's in so many modern perfumes!) And it sounds like Vanilla Milk might have that same chemical in it too - it's honestly everywhere but so many people can't smell it!
Not surprised about Blanche Bete as much as I love it. I can imagine it turning sour on people’s skin. I think I’m one of the very few that loves Shaghaf Oud. It’s not very popular in my household 😅😂
I tried very hard with Shaghaf Oud, but....... I can't. I just can't. However, I just saw that they will be releasing a flanker: Shaghaf Oud Tonka. Now That just might work! 🙃
@@AmiAbroad oooh that one sounds interesting
I love Blanche bete! 🥛
Baccarat is a lifer❤❤ def a fan of erba pura.. smells beautiful on me.. I know people complain about the musk, but I like musk so it doesn’t bother me😊
This was fun Jackie! Glad to see my most hated made the number one spot!
Erba pura won by a landslide!
I'm the same with Black Orchid. I yelled, "Ewww" so loud in the store people turned to see what was going on. Then Oud Satin Moud. Smells like Fermayldhyde animals. Then the other one I had to try and get off was Narcissi Rodriguez for her. It was the most pungent Patchouli on my skin.
I reallu enjoyed this video. Imo the one missing in this list is one of my personal foes, La Vie est Belle, as for the rest, all of them are here.
I agree with Devotion, tried yesterday and couldn't wait to wash it out. Though I enjoy vanilla to an extent, too intense vanilla perfumes don't work for me. As for Coco Mademoiselle smelling like mildew I get it, it's how patchouli tranlates for some noses.
And finally I agree, it's just perfume, Chanel is one my favorite houses and I love their perfumes but it doesn't offend me when people hate them.
The OG LVEB is a bit much for to to take. Patchouli is definitely polarizing.
I had to scrub off Billie Ilish 1 off, after 20 min after spraying it turned into a sour puke mixed with vanilla cake on my skin🤢.
Another nightmare for me is Initio Side Effect, hate it even off others, at least first 30 min of application. For me it it a spicy chemical, alcohol and mechanical somehow. Some car coolant gone wrong. All the notes are usually very attractive, I love boozy notes
I love love love ALL of the Black Opium!! especially the Le Perfume.
Yes, own them all, reach for illicit green, le Parfume and over red mostly.
Delina original is a lifer.. I have exclusif and love it as well. I’m not a huge Chanel no5 lover, but I appreciate it. I am a fan of coco Chanel though❤
Delina OG is, hands down, my most complimented fragrance from men & women. Although, I'll admit, it had to grow on me.
I tried a sample of Valaya, and really wanted to love it. It’s a scrubber for me. My 5 year old daughter said she thought it smells like a toot! 😅
When I tried Rosendo Mateo 5 for the first time I thought is the worst perfume I ever put my nose on.
Here I am, a year later I got a decant again, and I don’t know…I kinda like it 🙈 Its not as rubbery, more sweet and mysterious.
Thanks for sharing! I’m super curious to retry it.
It’s funny seeing Oud Satin Mood on here. 2 years ago, it was highly loved. I personally still love and wear it. Great video!!!
Thanks for watching!
22:32 I HATE Guidance. I am soooo glad that I got a sample. It smells like straight up woody hazelnut on my skin and dare I say.. heavy and masculine. It’s beast mode.. I took a shower nearly 2 hrs ago and still smell it on my arm. 😷
Random comment-Your makeup is pretty. That green is gorgeous on you!
Thank you so much 🙂
I also hold on to samples for the most part. If I don't like something sometimes I'll revisit and it will be amazing. Happen to me several times already.
Yes, definitely!
Black opium the original is my signature if I had to say I have one. Everytime I wear it there is always a compliment from a man on how good I smell. It never fails me EVER! If you want attention then that's the one you wear because its really grabs attention of men. People associate me with that scent too. I have le parfume and love that one as well! I get more compliments on the original to be honest because its louder and more people pick up on it which is followed by a "you smell like vanilla or you smell so good!" I dont mind people don't wear it or like it because at this point it smells original again because no one is wearing it like they used to. She's my ride or die, a guaranteed you smell good. If you didn't like the original then try the le parfume, shes real good too.
I’m really enjoying the le Parfum ❤️
Ok, I agree with 15 of the 20. But 5 of them are in my top 10 for life 🥰: Coco Mademoiselle, Italica, Delina, BR540 and Erba Pura, for me Erba Pura is a super fresh and delicious summerscent😍love it! And I get so many compliments wearing it
Marc-Antoine Barrois ganymede extrait, i was gifted a very generous sample of this and ............ oh my goodness i couldn't scrub it off fast enough. I was wearing a wool sweater at the time and sprayed some onto the sleave. Now for context i try to not wash my wool sweaters( i prefer to hang them on the line and let them air out in the cold air) I smelled Ganymede on my sweater for days and days until i finally had to take it to the dry cleaners. I just can't get on with this scent. Straight up curry. I love to authentic curry to eat, not to wear as a perfume. Sorry not sorry. Happy New year!
Lol, I just came from Chris's video on Babycat alternatives hahaha.
I did that 4 days ago also. Except for opposite reason as Chris 😆
@@GretaBeth 😂 I'm gonna check it out, Greta. Thanks.
Me too
I am shocked that Blanche Bete made the list. I ADORE IT!
Me too!!
I started binge watching you today and I really like your channel. I find myself agreeing with so many of your likes and dislikes. As much as I try not to take it personally, I must confess that it's harder on ones that I feel so strongly about like Blanche Bete. It's such a standout imo and I get tons of compliments when I wear it. Totally with you on Delina Exclusif. I absolutely love it but I strongly dislike regular Delina. I keep thinking there's something wrong because they should be similar yet they are night and day imo.@@jaxbeautifulyou
Blanche bete was an immediate scrubber, la vie est belle, black opium, Chanel no 5, Britney Spears midnight fantasy, Fancy by Jessica Simpson, bacarat rouge, and cloud were all scrubbers for me too 😂😂
LOVE MFK BR540 and YSL Babycat on this list. Delina is good but not full bottle worthy for me at this time. I have a sample of Valaya on the way to try out. Fingers crossed.
I really wanted to like the new Dolce and Gabanna. but mannn it smells nice for a sec in the opening then it smells like someone dumped a bowl of that syrupy canned fruit that people put in jello moulds on me! I felt like I had spilled it on my hand! Its just weird. It was almost shocking how it turned weird on me. Body chemestry is so facinating and that is why fragrance is so personal and you cant follow the heard on every one for sure!
The one that I blind bought and so regret is Audacity by Penhaligon…. It smells like rubber… like a tire shop. The other one I don’t like at all,that so many love, is Guidance…. Glad I got it on scent bird to try.
Love Baccaret Rouge once it dries down , at first smells to me like hospital/ medicinal . Not sure I’d buy the full bottle , love the Ariana grande dupe cloud
I’ve been waiting for this video since you put up that poll!!
Devotion is so good to me but, I totally get why people hate it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love it! It’s so fun. But yeah, it’s definitely not going to be for everyone.
I love italica..it smells so good lol i love how there is something out their for everyone.😅😊
Yes! Italica is so delicious imo
I really appreciate your thoughts on normalizing *not* liking perfumes especially hyped ones! I did not like Devotion! 😅 very "chewable vitamin C" to me 🤷🏻♀️
I tried my sample of Babycat again yesterday and I liked it better than I did the first time.. and when I came downstairs my husband loved it and thought I smelled like chocolate- no mention of eggs 😂.. although last week there was one I wore that he said smelled like steak with salt and pepper 😅
Lol steak with salt and pepper…. My husband come up with that stuff all the time. Yesterday he told me I smelled like Vicks vapor rub. 😂
@@jaxbeautifulyou 😂🤣
😮😮😮 Thanks for the deodorant tip!
You’re welcome! 💕
Re: burnt rubber notes, it might need to aerate/macerate. I had a blind buy rose musk frag that smelled incredibly disgusting. I sprayed it a few times over the course of several months, and right before I was about to throw it in the trash, it suddenly smelled exquisitely delicate and beautiful, not like motor oil at all.
Ok after watching the whole list, I'd say I'm just about split down the middle. About half of these I love or at least enjoy, and half I really quite dislike. Except I never did try Vanilla Milk because I was scared off by the reviews and I've never tried Erba Pura. Great video Jackie, loved the concept and the interactive nature of it.. very fun!
Thank you 😊
My top scrubbers would have to be MFK Oud Satin Mood and Gucci Rush I couldn’t bare either one and when I tried to give them to someone else everyone kindly declined crazy right? I love these kind of videos to hear other ppls thoughts on fragrances. I am surprised how high Black Orchid made the list because that’s my ultimate boss babe fragrance and if I had to pic 1 fragrance for the rest of my life it would be TF BO 🙌 ❤
Black Orchid is a masterpiece!
Love that you said all that stuff about being honest about our taste!! I cant imagine getting offended someone doesn't like the same perfumes as me. I want them to leave more for me! Lol. 😂
Exactly!! 😆
I agree that good girl and angel are scrubbers. A lot of these, I just think are overhyped and people are tired of hearing about them.
Absolutely love Rosendo Mateu no 5 but I don’t get that rubbery, gasoline, burning note people talk about.. I’ve never gotten that.. thank God😊
I actually like alien and want a small bottle of it.
I can’t do black orchid, it makes me nauseous .. but recently I smelled it and it was tolerable. I still don’t want a bottle of it. I tried the le parfum and it was not bad.😊
I wish I didn’t get the burnt tire. I want the magic that the people who love it get. 😔
27:47 I went to a perfume store probably 10+ yrs ago and a lady there was trying to sell me a bottle of "Black Orchid". My response at first sniff.. "ewwww". I thought it smelled absolutely disgusting and haven’t smelled it since.
Most of these I agree with but a couple I do love, especially Valaya. I just bought a full bottle and both my husband and I love it on me. We are all so different and it’s okay!
I am shocked that Baccarat was a scrub off because I can’t even smell it. I don’t hate it but I definitely wouldn’t purchase it because I can barely smell it.
Yes, that all I got is black pepper for baby cat, from top to bottom the black pepper stood out. Now oud satin mood, love her!!!!
10:42 not a scrubber imho, but "Good Girl" is pretty unremarkable and I suspect that a lot of people like it for the bottle and how that shoe looks on their shelf. How much do they actually wear the fragrance though? 🤷🏻♀️
Hi ! I only hate one note in perfumes : ambergris . It makes me nauseous straight away .
I have about 12-13 in my collection from the list. All of which I LOVE…imagine if EVERYONE loved all the perfumes I love, we’d all smell the same.😣
I don’t think Devotion was a scrubber personally but I do think it has a super gourmand scent. Some people really don’t like the realistic dessert smells. To me it was a bit lactonic and too foodie for me. Vanilla Milk on the other hand was actually atrocious hahaha to me anyways. I’m not a fan of lactonic scents as I just said but that perfume nearly smelled fermented to me. If I smelled that on someone I would straight up gag
I am so curious about vanilla milk now lol. I am definitely sampling next time I go to Sephora.
That devotion smells awful..even from start to dry down
Blanche Bete smells fabulous on my skin! That is the only one in this list I truly love. Everything else.. I don't care if I never smell again. LOL
Hey Jackie. I keep trying Coco Mademoselle but it’s a no. I can totally see people not liking Devotion. I love it but it’s giving prediabetes because it’s so sweet
Great video Jackie.. Entertaining!❤
Thank you! 🤗
So glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t get with Guidance. All I smell is pickles!
I miss Bianco Latte in this list, i hate it so much, it makes me sick to the stomach, gives me a migraine and worst i could not scrub it off, like it followed me around😂
I love Valaya. Yep, you described it well. It is fantastic, and perfume is PERSONAL😅
It really is!
I can’t help but wonder if some of these perfumes are literally formulated differently and therefore, have different reactions from different people. Perhaps those that love certain scents got a good “batch,” and those that hate the same scent got a bad “batch..” Or maybe a supplier of a certain note was switched and it made all the difference.. or maybe a batch sat on a hot truck too long, or a cold truck too long. Just my thoughts because it’s hard to imagine professional perfumers would intentionally make horrid scents 😄
Me too. i hated Italica at first it made me so nauseous. But the second time I wore it, it so reminds me of Hawaiian Punch concentrate with a touch of almonds. YUMMMMY! ❤❤❤
Rosendo mateu 5 is fenominal vanilla. People say it is closed to babycat. Don't know did not try ysl. But Mateu 5 is a gem. I felt tires at the beginning but after 3 tries I don't feel it anymore. It is the best perfume I ever smelled. I have huge collection.
From the list i own Black Opium and Coco Mademoiselle, and I absolutely love them! I have got some compliments with them as well. Two perfumes that i can think of right now that were absolute scubbers were This is Her by Zaldig & Voltaire and L'interdit (the whole line). There were some other perfumes i completely disliked and had to wash them off, but those two are definetely the worst. I also wasn't a big fan on the Libre line, but i started to enjoy more the Le Parfum and the Intense version.
I think I will always love coco Mademoiselle. I think it’s a masterpiece ❤️
oh no! I’ve had my eye on This Is Her. why was it a scrubber for you?
@@niklaus009 the moment i applied it I thought it was ok, but when it was drying down i just felt nauseous. I still don't know what bothered me exactly, but maybe it was just too sweet for my liking. My mom also hated it, but my sister loves it. I advise you to try it on your skin :)
My jaw dropped when I saw Erba Pura in the #1 spot 😧. I agree with all of the others.
This sounds fun. Thank you Jackie!
Thanks for watching!
YSL Black Opium, YSL Libre Intense, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle & Amouge Guidance are some of my favorites. Libre Intense & Guidance are top 10 for life. Guidance was a blind buy. Valentino Born in Roma Intense was also a blind buy and it is not my favorite. I wore one spray on my wrist and smelled it all day at work. I am going to try wearing it below the knees next time to see if I can stand it. Not a bad scent but way to much of something. I tried Tom Ford Black Orchid on in store and before I left decided it was not for me. If I ever find it on a major sale I will probably pick it up. It was a little more masculine on my skin.
