This makes so much sense. It was suggested to me to take fenugreek supplements to boost my milk supply for breastfeeding but after lots of research, many moms said their armpits smelled like maple syrup! Also, I lit a Maple Bourbon candle which to me smelled like caramel cookies but once my husband walked into the house he asked if I made curry for dinner! It’s so fascinating what different noses smell and perceive!
i got a sample of it from ministry of scent, and it’s still strong! i applied two sprays one behind each ear. at first, it was fantastic with the coffee smell! but after i got a little sweaty from work one of my co-workers/friends complained it smelled like maple syrup. the next day, after i did a workout it changed into a curry-like smell. it’s been like two days now. i tried spraying different scents on it but i don’t know when it will go away.
I got mine mid 2024. First hour I get strong coffee (i love) then the sweetness comes in with caramel and chocolate... I get a good 4-5 hours of this authentic coffee shop experience....THEN... coffee fades and things get a little 'curry powder'. The bottle lives in a sealed plastic bag but my clothes, bedding smells of curry. I sound like another exaggerater on the internet, but all other fragrances in my collection smell of curry on their bottles and around the atomiser. I used to like picking up a bottle and smelling the nozzle for a hint of the fragrance. I may need to double bag the fragrance! All that said, I'll still wear it this winter :)
Bought a full bottle in december so I def got the 2023 batch and while I'm unable to smell it to its fullest due to covid I can def say that I sprayed it on my hand then proceeded throughout the day with my business. I could smell something on my hand, coffee for the most part and that smell stayed ever after 2 days of washing lol. Gave my friend 5 ml as a decant and he told me his experience was up and down, with some saying that he smells amazing due to the coffee notes, while other were pointing out that they can either smell something burning or that curry thing. The only conclusion I can draw is that not everyone has their nose attuned the same way so opinions will vary.
Yeah, I’ve had that too. At the shop where I went to sample Followed, the women there said people do say it can come off as curry. I sprayed some on and I didn’t think this at first but a little way in to the dry down I could kinda smell it, and I really don’t want to smell like curry! 😂 I didn’t go back and buy it Love curry but not as my signature scent 😂 Don’t get me wrong, like you I smell the coffee and pancakes lol but it’s like a dualistic thing, it smells of both unfortunately. New Harlem is a nice coffee maple syrup scent that thankfully doesn’t have the curry vibe Cool video Thx 😊
I haven’t smelled this perfume but I can tell you that another RUclipsr suggested taking Fenugreek supplements as a natural deodorant and of course I tried it. She said her armpits smelled like maple syrup. She wasn’t lying, however…….. when I tried it, I smelled like maple syrup mixed with something else. And indeed it was a curry like/body odor smell. It was just so off-putting to smell like syrupy sweet body odor. It smells like that from the bottle too when you start to study the smell of fenugreek. Her nose didn’t pick up on the curry/body odor scent like my nose did. It can also be one’s body chemistry that enhances a particular part of the smell/molecule.
Hey I have this fragrance! I got told by one of my brown friend it smells like methi (fenugreek) and curry. Others said I smelt like I worked in a coffeeshop and that I smell like a canadian $100 bill (it smells like maple when you scratch them)
Don’t be scared 😂❤️❤️ It truly is a masterpiece, Try & order a sample everyone’s nose & skin is different that’s why i’m soo interested in hearing more opinions on it! Btw THANK YOU😜❤️ It’s from Temu hahaha
I have a question, does anyone know if Follow by Kerosene contain Maple Lactone like it's brother Followed? I want to get Follow by Kerosene because it focuses more on the coffe but I don't want to risk smelling like curry =))
I'm so sorry sweetheart but this is so funny😂😂😂😂 I find it so facinating that, i'm sorry but i dont know how to say it otherwise, 'western people' find the smell of fenugreek SWEET. I'm from The Netherlands but i have Moroccan roots and i (and everyone i know) find the smell of fenugreek just VILE. Maple syrup???? WHERE?????? When we eat something with fenugreek in it, we just know we're going to avoid each other the next morning 👀 Omg the BO smell the day after is just...😭😭😭😭 The thought of paying €160 to smell like fenugreek makes my stomach turn...
OMG I am so happy I never got the curry smell with any perfume as of yet, but I actually have with 2 body lotions! One was a salted caramel lotion and the other was Bath and body works fireside flurries I literally cannot wear this lotion lol😅 I always wanted to try followed but now I’m a bit hesitant. Oh and to add, I also asked my sister if she liked the fireside flurries lotion, without mentioning the curry smell to her, and the first thing she said was “This smells like curry!”😂😭
I had the same comment today off my neighbour. He askdd "have tou made a curry?" 😂 I replied " I think it might be my aftershave". He said the smell was really strong and we were 2 meters apart.
So happy you’ve don’t this video, Bcos this WAS on my to buy list. I’m staying away now. I hate the smell of fenugreek as it reminds me of a mix of strong curry and liquorice. Love eating curry; hate liquorice (fullstop lol) and wouldn’t want to smell of either.

The idea of it smelling like curry is my only worry , especially with the stereotypes . I get the coffee and caramel maple syrup , love it
This reminds me of the cereal Waffle Crisp. My fav cereal but sometimes in the air, it smells like sweet curry to me
It’s always good to order samples first lol I ordered a sample of the followed and a bottle of the follow.
I always order samples, I LOVE kerosene & have no issue with the fragrance but people around me seem to 🫣
@@cypriotsisterscents great company. Just hope I don’t get no curry or onion smell from the followed 😁
Hey I have this fragrance! I got told by one of my brown friend it smells like methi (fenugreek) and curry. Others said I smelt like I worked in a coffeeshop and that I smell like a canadian $100 bill (it smells like maple when you scratch them)
Glad I only got a sample of the followed because it ended up smelling like fenugreek on my skin and my friends kept on saying that 😁
Where did you buy it from?
Whenever i wear followed people always scream "somebody smell like syrup" 😂.... ill take that because i love syrupy scents
it smells of CURRY, due to Fenugreek seeds used in construction of maple syrup.
I would cry 😭😭😭
İ havn't smelled it yet, but İdk .. ur review gives me chills 😂 Unsure if İ wanna smell Curry in a perfume shop 🌝
Btw ur phone case is soo cute!! 😍

Thats the problem with this perfume.. i smell caramel + coffee .. others smell fenugreek or curry..
😭😭😭🤦♀️
how much time longevity and projections and sillage
Eternal. you have to wash it off! Sillage & projection is enormous. no exaggeration.
from 1 spray
Any chance of a decant?
this is the only thing that makes me not want to buy it :(

Did it get reformulated
That is what I’m trying to find out because I want to buy it. But not if it got reformulated
I had the same comment today off my neighbour. He askdd "have tou made a curry?" 😂

I swear I don't curry from this
The fragrance is a hit until it triggers accusations of curry cooking from my friends. Guess I'll have to be careful where I wear it!.
This is so strange 😩😩
IKR😅😅😅
