I wonder how many of these are “oh it’s popular so I hate it” rather than the scent itself actually being a bad scent. Cause pretty much all of these are bestsellers. 😂
I think you’ve got a good point. People get bored through familiarity, they want to smell unique and in addition to those things , the popularity may give people unreasonable expectations that are difficult to meet.
I love most of these perfumes! I think most people dislike these perfumes because they are so popular and so many people wear them, while others are trying to be original and different and wear something that isn't so "mainstream". The only fragrance I didn't like was Florabotanica by Balenciaga, first time I wore it I loved it but everytime after I got choked out by the cannabis note and just couldn't do it.
So...my most hated perfume is the OG YSL Opium in the red/gold bottle, NOT black opium. My mom has worn that perfume for YEARS and it always choked me out and gave an outdated mature hair spray vibe that I could never appreciate. Guess what her gift is this year? 😂 As long as she loves it that's all that matters though!
I don't know it, but "hairspray" sounds revolting. Seems like a great example of true mother-daughter love if you gifted her a bottle! (PS. My own mom hates Oriental/Middle Eastern fragrances and gifted *me* a 100ml + deodorant set of Lattafa Raghba. I had several fragrances on my wishlist, so no idea why she decided on this one. The others were all Western. Anyway, she didn't know what she was giving until she asked if I was willing to open the foil so she could spray it a bit on her hand & smell it "since she'd never heard of it" Sure, mom! 🤣)
When I was in middle school my father bought me a small perfume trio from Walmart for Christmas. White Diamonds was in the set and it was my least favorite out of the 3 but I'd never owned perfume before so I'd save them for special occasions. Fast forward to the first day of 9th grade and I wore White Diamonds because it was a special occasion to me and the last perfume I had left. I will never forget the boy who told me I smelled like an old lady that day. What's worse, I had a crush on him all of high school. Needless to say, I'm 34 and I've never worn White Diamonds again, lol.
I used to work in a department store, and the fragrance counters were literally across the aisle from my department, so sometimes when the store was dead I'd stroll across and try on perfumes. That was how I first smelled Chanel No.5 (I knew it was a classic so curiosity got me), and I can only say that many regrets were had that day. The best way to describe it is I smelled like I had taken a jar of stale baby powder and dumped the entire thing on my arm. I couldn't tell you how many times I washed my hands and wrists that day to get it off.
(ironically I almost ended up working at the Chanel counter so I guess it's a blessing I didn't actually end up there, because I'd probably never be able to upsell No.5 to a customer with a straight face)
I remember when that perfume first came out. I wanted a bottle so much. I was 18 and a senior in high school and lots of girls wore it. Same with Passion by Elizabeth Taylor 1988. It’s kinda funny to imagine teenagers wearing those scents today. 😂
I can't handle the patchouli in angel but ooh boy did mugler aura make me gag. I've never had a reaction like that. His fragrances always had a strong opinion and something to say. Even though I don't like those 2 I think they are great in their own way. As a designer house it really shook things up by saying you don't have to have a mass appeal profile to sell a ton of perfume!
Most of these people hate these because they only smell it from the first spray tbh. I HATED 540 when I first smelled it (I Blind Bought it lol) but I continued using it more & more & fell in love with it. I have a TON of perfumes that at first I regret buying but the more I continue to wear them the more I smell the notes in it & not just the beginning notes. People gotta remember that perfumes have notes & the longer they wear, the better they actually get. NOW mugler Alien I HATED it at first but the more I wore it the more I fell in love. This perfume to me changes the more you wear it & this might just be a me thing but I really think the more you sweat the more sweeter it gets & almost has that kinda grape smell which is weird & a lot of people said it kinda had a grape smell but I never got that until one day I worked out & could smell kinda a grape vibe. Mugler is one you gotta wear more than once it’s amazing.
I pretty much dislike the top note in most perfumes. AND spraying a scent on paper and then deciding on whether to buy is very ineffective. Buying a sample or travel size first and then wear for awhile before committing to a +$100 bottle. I know what notes I like and what notes I don't like or trigger my asthma. I blind buy all my scents and rarely have a miss but the biggest mistake a person can make is buying a scent solely on the recommendation of an influencer who is being paid $$ to promote a scent. Not talking about this vlogger but mostly fashion/beauty influencers whose entire life is paid for by getting people to buy a product they are shilling. Know who is giving the review, know what knowledge they have of scents, and be weary of a reviewer who gives the same description for every scent. It smells fabulous, oh it's my new favorite are trigger descriptions for me. If they never use the word 'note' or if they spray the scent 27 times in the air, or spray on their wrists and then proceed to rub them together like they are trying to start a fire are all telltale signs of someone who just wants to sell you something to make $$.
I tried wearing Black Orchide and after a month I got a terrible headache from it. I bought La vie est belle from smelling the paper (first and last time ever) tried it so hard for a few weeks but I always ended up nauseous and scraping off the skin on my neck so I disagree with your suggestion of trying as long as you don’t like them.
Every time I watch a video named “Most hated perfumes” Angel is there 😂. I personally use Angel EDT and absolutely love it! I can see why people don’t like this perfume but hey that’s the beauty of perfumes, there’s something for everyone 😊
My mom wears my way all the time and she smells so good with it on but it smells bad on me. Perfume is SO freaking individual, like my literal mom and I (who share DNA) smell completely different with the SAME perfume. Love my way on her though, so good!
I agree with most of the list. I have worked at both the Lancôme and Chanel cosmetic counters and I literally hate all of their perfumes. I also worked at Macy’s women’s fragrance counter way back in the day when they launched White Diamonds. That perfume was being sprayed so much that I could taste it. It makes me want to throw up!
I couldn’t hide my distaste when I got La Vie Est Belle last year for my birthday from my dude! It was so strong & intense but after a few months I mixed it with Love Cotton Candy Champagne & it’s an instant compliment getter! I need to try some Middle Eastern scents to see how they smell on me! Great video per usual!
A few thoughts: *My Way is one of my all time faves * TF Black Orchid is quite literally the strongest perfume I’ve ever tried. Like Black Opium on steroids * Light Blue on me is lovely at first but the cedar amps into cat pee on me * Pink Sugar would be great for me but the licorice just kills it * White Diamonds is not horrible in super small doses * Chanel No 5 is actually quite beautiful to me- again in small doses but ugh I love aldehydes
I’ve loved Chanel No.5 for years. Can’t over spray it, but in the right amount it is beautiful! It was actually my first expensive fragrance as a teenager. I’m really loving Chanel Coco Noir right now!
@@brinnyful I’ve been wearing it a lot the past few days. It’s helped cheer me up during the freezing weather we’ve had lately. I find it to be quite joyful!
Honestly, I agree with all of these! Patchouli, aldehydes, and other strong notes like tobacco just aren't appealing to my nose and smell completely different on the skin. Some in the comments have questioned if these are "hated" because they're so popular. I'm curious how many are still best sellers simply for nostalgia
I’m 58 and am not a fan of Chanel No. 5. I remember as a child my grandmother and aunt wearing this. I loved them but couldn’t stand the perfume! I was just thankful my mom didn’t wear it. So while smelling this may make me think of these wonderful ladies, many other, better smelling things do as well, like my grandma’s pies and pastries ❤
I'm heading for sixty, and Chanel Chance eau Tendre is my signature. It's so much lighter than No5, but it opens up to be really sensual. For anyone wanting a lighter, more modern Chanel, I recommend the parfum of Chance eau Tendre. I agree that No5 is much too strong and deeply old-fashioned!
I love chanel no.5 and I have it. It's a comfort scent for me and one that I wear at home to feel better and safe. I don't wear it in front of other people because of that "grandma vibe" it had. And to be honest, it's the reason why I love it so much. My grandma used to wear it. I sprayed her with it every day while she was on her death bed. She had alzheimers and couldn't really talk anymore but every time I asked if she wanted to smell her chanel, she managed to say "yes" or just give me a head nod 🥺
This is so sad I’m so sorry about your nan 😢😢I feel the Same too Chanel no5 will always be the best perfume people can say bad things about it but it’s so unique and classy and amazing
Girl, you NEED to try Van Cleef & Arples Rose Rouge. I’m telling you, you would LOVE it. I don’t like rose scents at all! But this one is done sooo beautifully! PLEASE try it!!!
I love white diamonds. It’s literally the only perfume that stay on my skin for more than 10 hours. true story I wore it for uni and everyone thought I smelled EXPENSIVE then I told them it was white diamonds and they were shocked 😂😂 it’s actually a great long lasting perfume at first it’s super strong then it turns beautiful 💖
I'm surprised and relieved that Shalimar did not make the list. 😁 My list would be: Midnight Rose, Florabotanica, Flamenco, Love is White, White Patchouli, Anais Anais, New Bond St., Womanity and Opium EDP.
I have a major thing for vintage perfumes. I have a pretty big collection now -- stuff like Shalimar, Blue Waltz, Chantilly, Florida Water and 4711. However my all time favorite is Chanel No. 5. I adore this perfume. It just "works" on me. I always get compliments when I wear it.
I love Pink Sugar lol. I don't think I'll ever outgrow it (and the projection is great). Although Sweet Tooth is a great alternative that I am obsessed with as it's not as sickly sweet but I have to overspray. Also Mod Vanilla has a similar vibe, love 'em all! I'm definitely an Alien Goddess and Angel Iced Star gal over the OGs. Love these videos! It would be boring if we all smelled the same ;)
Chanel No.5 is my all-time favorite perfume and it'll stay in my collection always! If you were born before 1990, you'd really appreciate this scent profile. Any generation x or millennials don't get on board with this fragrance, for some reason. But most women I know that are 45 and older love this! It's classy, sophisticated and a perfume for a grown woman. That being said a young woman in her 30s , a young girl or teen cannot and probably will not appreciate its complexity and beauty.
I think something happened where the younger people were taught vintage scents are old and bad. Middle age and older people didn't have that same association with scents that came out before they were born. They're probably on a modern synthetic sugar high. All those sweet scents make them intolerant to florals and aldehydes.
Generation X includes people who are 45, since Generation X are those born between mid/late 60’s to early 80’s…I’m in my 40’s and I hate Chanel No 5…always have hated it.
I was born in late 60s and not a fan of the Chanel 5. I think they changed the formula but I love the hair mist Chanel 5. I’m more of Coco Chanel and Coco Noir. Definitely not the N 5 for me and I’m 54.
Angel, is the perfect example of how not only personal preference note-wise but also your own body chemistry influences your taste heavily...Last time I went shopping with my mom, we came across Angel on sale. I told her how I wanted to finally try the original after incidentally coming across the Eau Croisière 2019 and 2020 versions on sale months before on vacation with my girlfriends and loving those flankers. Regretfully, I decided not to buy those -even after my friends told me to go for them as they made me smell incredible- because being on vacation and having minimal packing space left weight-wise I didn't want to splurge even *more* . Anyways, while I was telling her that, she was happily applying a few spritzers of Angel to herself, telling me how my dad used to buy it for her at the airport when he came back from his yearly visit home, and she smelled amazing! Truely! Encouraging me, to go for a spritzer on my wrist, too. And what can I say?!? The moment the perfume came in contact with my skin chemistry, I wanted to gag...disbelieving how a scent I just had whole-heartedly complimented my mom on could smell so -literally- rotten on myself, I went in again for a sniff of my wrist and... even more repulsive...😕 Needless to say, I didn't buy Angel for myself that day😅 P.s.: To this day, I still regret not just buying the flankers -- not only because they smelled amazing on me and were on sale but because I freaking knew that I would probably never ever come across them in the shops again and I still couldn't bring myself to splurge *just a teenie bit* more🤣🤣😒
I've smelled angel on someone and thought I will have to try that it's so beautiful, I put it on and it smelled like the absolute worst bad breath teeth falling out hallotosis vomit ever I have never wiped a perfume off before but I did that day
YSL Black Opium doesn't surprise me. I tried so hard to like that fragrance but each time I got a test sample and tried it on me. I wanted to buy it less and less. I love intense perfumes, but I think the coffee note in it. Is what kills it for a lot of people. I finally found my YSL perfume though. And that was YSL Libre Le Perfume. OMG not only does that one smell amazing on me. But it last so long and it's a newer YSL, so not many people have it yet.
This list is frighteningly accurate. I own a few that were never my favorites. May have to throw them out now. Lol. If only Bacarat Rouge 540 were number one the list! Can't blame skin chemistry either. It smells suspicious straight out of the bottle like spoiled medicine. And on paper. And on other people. Also, other perfumes that smell like BR540 stink too. There are a lot of bestselling, popular perfumes that are not on this list because they smell GOOD! Ksenja has mostly fantastic perfumes...especially gourmands...but the ones on this list (and a few others) need to go.
I like La Vie Est Belle but I think it’s a good beginner scent for when you don’t know what you’re really into yet. It’s a very safe, pleasant, all around good scent that isn’t too strong, but for me personally I outgrew it quickly and moved onto Garden by Dolce and Gabana 😊
Great video. Personally I like but not love Chanel no5. I tried it the first time probably when I was in my early 30s, now I’m 44 and my opinion hasn’t changed. It’s a nice perfume but it is very aldehyde heavy. For it to work in my opinion you have to wear it for formal classy events, and for a 30+ age group. Overall it is not one of my absolute favorites, but I think I would like to keep it in my collection because it does smell nice for the right occasion, and has a lot of history behind it.
This video made me feel. So validated lol The only one I love on this list is light blue. My husband got it for me and at FIRST. I was like hmm I think I hate this (didn’t tell him). I wore it a couple times. Got so many compliments. It grew on me and now it’s my go to honestly. My husband also bought me coco mademoiselle and I hate it. I never wear it. Probably about to give it away it’s been like a year. When I was a kid my dad took us to the perfume counter and let us pick out anything we wanted for our mom. We picked angel. I’m thirty now and she still has that perfume and the bottle is still full. She absolutely hated it lol And lastly. I almost. ALMOST blind bought black opium. I had heard so many good things about it I go in the store thinking I’m walking out with it. I smelled it. I hated it. I’m still confused as to why I don’t feel what other people feel when they smell it. so it’s nice to see. I’m not actually crazy. Because it was on this list Lmaooo!
I love TF Tobacco Vanille. I did not at first, but then I tried it again and the dry down is amazing. I find with Tom Ford fragrance that they initially smell bad, but improve over time.
Light blue smells like lemon cleaner to me and Tom ford black orchid has to be one of the worst perfumes I've ever had. My grandma gave it to me and I can't get it to work. Even one spray and I have to scrub it off
I agree with a lot on this list; not because they smell aweful, but because they're either linear, they lack somewhere in their performance (whether longevity or projection, and/or they're just overused/overrated. I am a HUGE fragrance lover, so I can tell which perfume many ppl are wearing. Now that I am older, I look for more unique and complex scents. I look for scents that stand out from what everyone else is constantly wearing.
I'm 29 and I've always been a huge fan of Chanel No.5. My mom used to wear White Diamonds when I was a kid and it was soo nice, classy, lady-like and motherly. My mom and I both wore Angel and s couple of others from the list 🙈 I must say people frequently comment how good I smell. It is probably related to the skin's pH. On the other hand, I CANNOT STAND BR540. It gives me an instant headache.
After smelling 20+ Tom Ford fragrances, I am only a fan of Lost Cherry. So many of them have that grandma/grandpa old person vibe which I'm not a fan of.
I like Chanel N5 it smells good more like a clean scent and reminds me of my mom I don’t think it’s a bad smell and in my opinion not really a grandma scent more like a light clean scent for people who don’t like something that’s too over powering
Like the first perfume you showed how it reminded you of your mother and attached to it I'm like that with Red Door I've worn it a few times but i mostly keep it to remember my mom always reminds me of her it was her favorite. 💜
Heyyy Ksenja !! We all have different noses , diferent backgrounds and all over influences. There is a market for everyone and every perfume : ) wish you lots of success for your channel , sweetie ! Big hugs from Portugal , Europe.
Before I was into perfume, I had the opportunity to take my step-grandmother’s bottle of Chanel #5 home with me from my grandpa’s house, I was cleaning out her closet, but I wasn’t about it. It just smells so dated! No one smells like that anymore! If I was cleaning out her closet at this point in my perfume journey I might grab it just to have it, but meh. I got her knock off Burberry scarf and her knock off LV duffel lol
I actually find that Black Opium smells like maple syrup that’s been out all day. Like at first the syrup smells good, but then it gets that weird smell that I can’t describe after it’s been sitting out too long if you didn’t wash the dishes that day 😂 That’s the most accurate way I can describe why I don’t like that scent
black opium was the first "designer" perfume I've ever had and it was my signature scent for YEARS. it was my signature scent for so long that now when I smell it its boring for me but man, I've gone through soooo many bottles of that stuff. now it just smells like memories w my ex boyfriend lmao I also wore alien all through high school which looking back is crazy considering that stuff is STRONG and everyone probably had a headache walking past me in the hallways
The thing I like about Chanel #5 is that it gives me fond memories of my Mom who used to have it, & she's been gone now for yrs. & yrs. so that's about the only reason why I would pick it up at a fragrance counter & sniff it, just to help remind me of memories of her. It's not a fragrance that I would own though, it's just not my taste in perfume.
I'm always surprised when I see My Way on a dislike list. My Way is my signature scent. But it's so interesting to see what people love and dislike because we all have such unique tastes! ☺️💜 Happy Holidays Ksenja!
@@salemhagos5174 I haven't found a scent that is pretty identical to My Way, however I do have a few favorite scents from Bath and Body Works that I use to layer it with. I use Poppy, A Thousand Wishes and Confetti Daydream. Typically I just use those in body cream form with the perfume. Honestly though, I use My Way on its own more than I do layered.
No 5 was classic perfumery back then that was for the classy lady in mind at the time. It’s definitely not for me but I have a lot of respect for its origin.
I think maybe #5 would have been bumped if anyone had remembered Estée Lauder Youth Dew. One drop is nuclear.... just saying. And it's really hard to remove.
So most of them are smelling bad bit are bestsellers because of the name. And some of them really smell bad but they wake up a sense of nostalgia and that‘s why they are mostly loved.
I smelled My Way on my step sister just a few months ago and OMG, she smelled so good! I was like, whatever it is, I need it. But I went to the store and smelled it and it didn't smell the same, so I didn't grab it.
My most hated perfumes: MFK - Baccarat Rouge, TF- Black Orchid, Pascal Morabito - Sultan Noir. But you know, there are plenty people for whom this could be a Top 3. Skin chemistry is even more important in how a perfume is perceived than a nose. My perfume collection actually has quite the range. While my Top 5 favourite notes are Jasmine, Vanilla, Amber, Red berries and - this is new, they beat Orangeblossom - roses (Peony for summer, sultry red rose for winter) I like the majority of fragrance types: Gourmands (fruit based to edible cake like), Amber perfumes (plain amber to amber Vanilla and spicy amber), Spicy-Sweet (floral or other), Fruity Florals, White floral fragrances, Oriental perfumes, the occasional Chypre, Liquor or Tobacco scents, and even some of the stronger Middle Eastern Oud bottles have found a way to my Perfume Heart. Oh, and to my utmost surprise 2022 saw the inclusion of a few, what I qualify as, "freshies": clean musk (Lattafa - Pure Musk), sweet laundry or cream (Issey Miyake - A drop d'Issey) salon shampoo (Armaf - Femme) or a fresher floral (Zara- Applejuice/Peony/Hibiscus). I like those for sleeping, on my clothes and/ or in summer. Perfume has become very important for my mental health condition. I'm very seriously ill, always in pain, extremely limited and isolated + financially not very stable. Depression is always a risk for those with chronic pain and other chronic diseases and with the added strain of financial stress things like anxiety or depression could creep up on me if I didn't work for it. Scent is the dominant one from all of our senses and the only one too that links memories and feelings. It's why the freshly baked apple pie used to be a realtor trick and a lot of department stores use(d) fragrances to make you feel comfy & spend-y. You can truly influence how you feel & deal with fragrance, so definitely don't listen to anyone who hates your favourite perfumes. If it makes you happy... well, it truly does 😊. And to anyone, particularly in these times with the (I hate them) holidays, who suffers from mental health issues: you're NOT alone. Sometimes smelling awesome just isn't enough to reach the light in dark times, so please reach out to someone, even if it's an anonymous telephone number or online service. You're worth it ❤️. Love from The Netherlands.
You should try Chloe Nomade if you haven’t already. Thank you for the second paragraph by the way. My grandma passed away last month and since then i’ve been having really bad anxiety about life and death and all of the above. it is a really bad feeling but i’m trying bc to stay positive and hope for the best. ❤
I hated Kayali Vanilla 28 with my whole heart. I bought it online because there’s not a Sephora near me, and it was the biggest disappointment of 2022 for me. It’s okay though, I returned it and bought Burberry Her Elixir instead :)
This was a fun list! I actually really like Black Opium, 540, la vie est Belle, Alien, and a few of the others, but Angel smells revolting on me!! I didn’t realize so many other people have had that same experience with it!
I love mugler perfumes so much. Lol they are different, nothing else like them. Alien is my love. Angel paved the way for all gourmand scents. My moms signature perfume is tabu. She has been wearing it since she was a teen, and shes now in her 70s. It was created the same year as Chanel #5, in 1932. Its what i would call a vintage perfume, and i wouldnt personally wear it, but i LOVE it on my mom.
Coco Mademoiselle and la vie est belle are literally two of my top most complemented fragrances which is funny lol people always ask what I’m wearing which is crazy considering how everyone says they’re basic
Like I just know everyone who voted only know a few fragrances. I just realized baccarat rouge is also on here. There hasn’t been a single day when I’ve worn this and haven’t had almost every single person I encounter tell me that I smell amazing
Tom Ford perfumes can be described as too authentic. For example, if it says "leather" on the bottle, it will smell like a (brand-new) leather couch. If it says "cigar", you will walk around smelling as if you puffed cigars all day.
Great Video! Years ago I was counter manager for a couple of cosmetic lines at a department store, and I remember not being able to stand the smell of Estee Lauder White Linen! Just in recent years have I started liking scents that are more 'fresh' or 'linen' like.....agree on Chanel #5, though.....
Chanel No. 5. A good example of longing on my part. My mom wore this and smelled amazing. I've tried it through the years as my body's changed and it just doesn't love me. It smells of uric acid on me and I d rather smell good. Yes, I have a bottle that has the same status as your Coco Mmsl. It's there to remind me. When I really miss her, I smell the bottle.
My way and YSL black Opium will forever be my babies lol I do hate Chanel N5 though. Someone said Kayali pink pepper reminds them of white diamonds and I disagree.
It's about to be 50k fam... More success to you Girl... This lavender sweat looks beautiful on you.. I don't like most the celebrity scents besides some exceptions.. For my nose, most of them smell the same..
A lot of these are classics, I think a lot of these are unpopular because people have smelled them too much, they got hyped too much, they have a bad experience associated with the scent, or their mom wore it/ wears it
For me I absolutely hate aura thierry mugler and Lolita lempicka, makes me so nauseous and the worse migraine, but my favorite perfume of all time is Alien
I don't like Pink Sugar by itself? I mix it with Floral Street-Wonderland Peony..and then the Pink Sugar adds like a warm fireplace type Vibe for Winter? Love the Mix!! It gives me a good feeling...🌸🔥👌👌👌
Omg I love Tobacco Vanille soooo much. One blogger once compared the opening of the scent to the freshly opened package of tobacco when it's almost slightly wet and smells like dried fruits. For me it smells like fresh rich black tea with sugar because of the vanilla. I wish to have enough money to afford at least the smallest bottle of it because I cannot stop wanting it for a loooong time
It seems like La Vie Est Belle always pops up on "most hated lists" and that intrigues me. I have a LOT of fragrances and it is by far my most complimented perfume. And mostly by men. There is something in it that men really seem to like. Maybe the vanilla. Not sure but I personally love it. Now Chanel No.5. I tried wearing this when I was super young and it was so strong I just couldn't do it. I kind of liked it because it was so different than anything I'd ever smelled before but whoo....just too strong and mature. Fast forward to now and hear me out on this...layer it with Vanilla 28. I know, weird. But it'll change your life, lol
I blind bought marc jacobs perfect, I used the entire bottle( which is very cute btw, love the little runtz banana) but I agree, it is a basic scent and doesn't project it doesn't last very long
Oh man... I LOVE White Diamonds. I adore vintage style perfumes. It's just so much more to my taste. And my great grandmother DID wear it. And she smelled fabulous! Chanel no. 5 falls flat to me. I like aldehydes, but that's all I get from it. Just soap.
I like Angel and flankers and A*Men. Guess I'm an angel girl on the alien or angel divide. I do like Chanel #5 , the Eau Premiere and the Edp versions best . I tend to like tea scents and spice/ incense as my favorite fragrance genres. Also classic true chypre green scents( Chanel #19) .
I used to wear black opium at work in my factory, and men and woman would hunt me down asking me what I’m wearing love it, I wear it at dr apptments, love bac 540, and now I wear santal 33 and bergamot 22 by lelabo
I wonder how many of these are “oh it’s popular so I hate it” rather than the scent itself actually being a bad scent. Cause pretty much all of these are bestsellers. 😂
I love a few of these and have them in my collection ❤
@@renitac8776 same here! 😊
Most of them do suck IMO though. lol but that’s just based of my scent preferences I don’t vibe with any of these execpt baccarat
Incorrect most of the perfumes she listed are TRASH , popularity has nothing to do with it
I think you’ve got a good point. People get bored through familiarity, they want to smell unique and in addition to those things , the popularity may give people unreasonable expectations that are difficult to meet.
I love most of these perfumes! I think most people dislike these perfumes because they are so popular and so many people wear them, while others are trying to be original and different and wear something that isn't so "mainstream". The only fragrance I didn't like was Florabotanica by Balenciaga, first time I wore it I loved it but everytime after I got choked out by the cannabis note and just couldn't do it.
I completely agree with you
Nope. We don't like them because we hate the way they smell...
They could know someone who over-spays it and got fragrance fatigue
@@rollercoastergirly yeah that’s a possibility
You are right. I don't hate these perfumes, but I try to buy something different because they are so popular and recognisable.
So...my most hated perfume is the OG YSL Opium in the red/gold bottle, NOT black opium. My mom has worn that perfume for YEARS and it always choked me out and gave an outdated mature hair spray vibe that I could never appreciate. Guess what her gift is this year? 😂 As long as she loves it that's all that matters though!
Agreed, that perfume is horrible!!! 😂
I don't know it, but "hairspray" sounds revolting. Seems like a great example of true mother-daughter love if you gifted her a bottle!
(PS. My own mom hates Oriental/Middle Eastern fragrances and gifted *me* a 100ml + deodorant set of Lattafa Raghba. I had several fragrances on my wishlist, so no idea why she decided on this one. The others were all Western. Anyway, she didn't know what she was giving until she asked if I was willing to open the foil so she could spray it a bit on her hand & smell it "since she'd never heard of it" Sure, mom! 🤣)
I really like the og opium, it's a woman's perfume. Not for little girls.

I used to work in a department store, and the fragrance counters were literally across the aisle from my department, so sometimes when the store was dead I'd stroll across and try on perfumes. That was how I first smelled Chanel No.5 (I knew it was a classic so curiosity got me), and I can only say that many regrets were had that day. The best way to describe it is I smelled like I had taken a jar of stale baby powder and dumped the entire thing on my arm. I couldn't tell you how many times I washed my hands and wrists that day to get it off.
(ironically I almost ended up working at the Chanel counter so I guess it's a blessing I didn't actually end up there, because I'd probably never be able to upsell No.5 to a customer with a straight face)
Curiosity also got the best of me with Chanel No. 5 and it smelled like cat piss on me
I bought a bottle on reputation alone. I hated it and never wore it.
I love white diamonds. I actually write down the name of a perfume when it gets described as old/ mature. I almost always love those.
And I love love love Chanel no5
Perfumes were great back in the day so "old/mature" usually means complex, projecting...
@@orangeblossom1769 agree completely
Same here 😆
I remember when that perfume first came out. I wanted a bottle so much. I was 18 and a senior in high school and lots of girls wore it. Same with Passion by Elizabeth Taylor 1988. It’s kinda funny to imagine teenagers wearing those scents today. 😂
I'm surprised Angel didn't make it to number one, the one time I sprayed it in Sephora it made me want to vomit 😭😭
Same. I hate it so much.
Same! It smells like a nasty sour turd lol
I can't handle the patchouli in angel but ooh boy did mugler aura make me gag. I've never had a reaction like that. His fragrances always had a strong opinion and something to say. Even though I don't like those 2 I think they are great in their own way. As a designer house it really shook things up by saying you don't have to have a mass appeal profile to sell a ton of perfume!
These comments make me want to wear it even more 😘
Most of these people hate these because they only smell it from the first spray tbh. I HATED 540 when I first smelled it (I Blind Bought it lol) but I continued using it more & more & fell in love with it. I have a TON of perfumes that at first I regret buying but the more I continue to wear them the more I smell the notes in it & not just the beginning notes. People gotta remember that perfumes have notes & the longer they wear, the better they actually get.
NOW mugler Alien I HATED it at first but the more I wore it the more I fell in love. This perfume to me changes the more you wear it & this might just be a me thing but I really think the more you sweat the more sweeter it gets & almost has that kinda grape smell which is weird & a lot of people said it kinda had a grape smell but I never got that until one day I worked out & could smell kinda a grape vibe. Mugler is one you gotta wear more than once it’s amazing.
I pretty much dislike the top note in most perfumes. AND spraying a scent on paper and then deciding on whether to buy is very ineffective. Buying a sample or travel size first and then wear for awhile before committing to a +$100 bottle. I know what notes I like and what notes I don't like or trigger my asthma. I blind buy all my scents and rarely have a miss but the biggest mistake a person can make is buying a scent solely on the recommendation of an influencer who is being paid $$ to promote a scent. Not talking about this vlogger but mostly fashion/beauty influencers whose entire life is paid for by getting people to buy a product they are shilling. Know who is giving the review, know what knowledge they have of scents, and be weary of a reviewer who gives the same description for every scent. It smells fabulous, oh it's my new favorite are trigger descriptions for me. If they never use the word 'note' or if they spray the scent 27 times in the air, or spray on their wrists and then proceed to rub them together like they are trying to start a fire are all telltale signs of someone who just wants to sell you something to make $$.
I tried wearing Black Orchide and after a month I got a terrible headache from it. I bought La vie est belle from smelling the paper (first and last time ever) tried it so hard for a few weeks but I always ended up nauseous and scraping off the skin on my neck so I disagree with your suggestion of trying as long as you don’t like them.
Agree 100%. 540 smelled masculine and very meh to me first few times, but now my fave
Every time I watch a video named “Most hated perfumes” Angel is there 😂. I personally use Angel EDT and absolutely love it! I can see why people don’t like this perfume but hey that’s the beauty of perfumes, there’s something for everyone 😊
My mom wears my way all the time and she smells so good with it on but it smells bad on me. Perfume is SO freaking individual, like my literal mom and I (who share DNA) smell completely different with the SAME perfume. Love my way on her though, so good!
I agree with most of the list. I have worked at both the Lancôme and Chanel cosmetic counters and I literally hate all of their perfumes. I also worked at Macy’s women’s fragrance counter way back in the day when they launched White Diamonds. That perfume was being sprayed so much that I could taste it. It makes me want to throw up!
What r your favorites?
@@tinyviolin From Chanel my favorite is the original Allure
I couldn’t hide my distaste when I got La Vie Est Belle last year for my birthday from my dude! It was so strong & intense but after a few months I mixed it with Love Cotton Candy Champagne & it’s an instant compliment getter! I need to try some Middle Eastern scents to see how they smell on me! Great video per usual!
A few thoughts:
*My Way is one of my all time faves
* TF Black Orchid is quite literally the strongest perfume I’ve ever tried. Like Black Opium on steroids
* Light Blue on me is lovely at first but the cedar amps into cat pee on me
* Pink Sugar would be great for me but the licorice just kills it
* White Diamonds is not horrible in super small doses
* Chanel No 5 is actually quite beautiful to me- again in small doses but ugh I love aldehydes
White Diamonds and Chanel No5 in the right amounts at the right time are really magical.
I’ve loved Chanel No.5 for years. Can’t over spray it, but in the right amount it is beautiful! It was actually my first expensive fragrance as a teenager. I’m really loving Chanel Coco Noir right now!
I love My Way 😩
@@brinnyful I’ve been wearing it a lot the past few days. It’s helped cheer me up during the freezing weather we’ve had lately. I find it to be quite joyful!
@@SandraMorris51 so much perfume is that way, seasonal. What smells great on winter doesn't in summer and vice versa
Honestly, I agree with all of these!
Patchouli, aldehydes, and other strong notes like tobacco just aren't appealing to my nose and smell completely different on the skin.
Some in the comments have questioned if these are "hated" because they're so popular. I'm curious how many are still best sellers simply for nostalgia
I’m 58 and am not a fan of Chanel No. 5. I remember as a child my grandmother and aunt wearing this. I loved them but couldn’t stand the perfume! I was just thankful my mom didn’t wear it. So while smelling this may make me think of these wonderful ladies, many other, better smelling things do as well, like my grandma’s pies and pastries ❤
My mom used to wear it. She smells good with it. I don’t like it on myself
I'm heading for sixty, and Chanel Chance eau Tendre is my signature. It's so much lighter than No5, but it opens up to be really sensual. For anyone wanting a lighter, more modern Chanel, I recommend the parfum of Chance eau Tendre. I agree that No5 is much too strong and deeply old-fashioned!
I love chanel no.5 and I have it. It's a comfort scent for me and one that I wear at home to feel better and safe. I don't wear it in front of other people because of that "grandma vibe" it had. And to be honest, it's the reason why I love it so much. My grandma used to wear it. I sprayed her with it every day while she was on her death bed. She had alzheimers and couldn't really talk anymore but every time I asked if she wanted to smell her chanel, she managed to say "yes" or just give me a head nod 🥺
This is so sad I’m so sorry about your nan 😢😢I feel the Same too Chanel no5 will always be the best perfume people can say bad things about it but it’s so unique and classy and amazing
Girl, you NEED to try Van Cleef & Arples Rose Rouge. I’m telling you, you would LOVE it. I don’t like rose scents at all! But this one is done sooo beautifully! PLEASE try it!!!
I love white diamonds. It’s literally the only perfume that stay on my skin for more than 10 hours. true story I wore it for uni and everyone thought I smelled EXPENSIVE then I told them it was white diamonds and they were shocked 😂😂 it’s actually a great long lasting perfume at first it’s super strong then it turns beautiful 💖
I'm surprised and relieved that Shalimar did not make the list. 😁 My list would be: Midnight Rose, Florabotanica, Flamenco, Love is White, White Patchouli, Anais Anais, New Bond St., Womanity and Opium EDP.
I AM HURT!! Marc Jacobs perfect is my signature I get compliments everywhere I go with it on
I have a major thing for vintage perfumes. I have a pretty big collection now -- stuff like Shalimar, Blue Waltz, Chantilly, Florida Water and 4711. However my all time favorite is Chanel No. 5. I adore this perfume. It just "works" on me. I always get compliments when I wear it.
I love Pink Sugar lol. I don't think I'll ever outgrow it (and the projection is great). Although Sweet Tooth is a great alternative that I am obsessed with as it's not as sickly sweet but I have to overspray. Also Mod Vanilla has a similar vibe, love 'em all! I'm definitely an Alien Goddess and Angel Iced Star gal over the OGs. Love these videos! It would be boring if we all smelled the same ;)
I love pink sugar too!
Pink Sugar is a very nice perfume that suffers from juvenile packaging.
I love it too
I love mugler alien esp in the cold crisp windy atmosphere.!!!💯❤️🔥
Chanel No.5 is my all-time favorite perfume and it'll stay in my collection always! If you were born before 1990, you'd really appreciate this scent profile. Any generation x or millennials don't get on board with this fragrance, for some reason. But most women I know that are 45 and older love this! It's classy, sophisticated and a perfume for a grown woman. That being said a young woman in her 30s , a young girl or teen cannot and probably will not appreciate its complexity and beauty.
I’m in my late 30s and I like no 5 I also think that it’s classy and timeless
I think something happened where the younger people were taught vintage scents are old and bad. Middle age and older people didn't have that same association with scents that came out before they were born. They're probably on a modern synthetic sugar high. All those sweet scents make them intolerant to florals and aldehydes.
Generation X includes people who are 45, since Generation X are those born between mid/late 60’s to early 80’s…I’m in my 40’s and I hate Chanel No 5…always have hated it.
Chanel no 5 is a lovely memory of Marilyn Monroe , just as timeless as her
I was born in late 60s and not a fan of the Chanel 5. I think they changed the formula but I love the hair mist Chanel 5. I’m more of Coco Chanel and Coco Noir. Definitely not the N 5 for me and I’m 54.
Angel, is the perfect example of how not only personal preference note-wise but also your own body chemistry influences your taste heavily...Last time I went shopping with my mom, we came across Angel on sale.
I told her how I wanted to finally try the original after incidentally coming across the Eau Croisière 2019 and 2020 versions on sale months before on vacation with my girlfriends and loving those flankers. Regretfully, I decided not to buy those -even after my friends told me to go for them as they made me smell incredible- because being on vacation and having minimal packing space left weight-wise I didn't want to splurge even *more* .
Anyways, while I was telling her that, she was happily applying a few spritzers of Angel to herself, telling me how my dad used to buy it for her at the airport when he came back from his yearly visit home, and she smelled amazing! Truely! Encouraging me, to go for a spritzer on my wrist, too. And what can I say?!? The moment the perfume came in contact with my skin chemistry, I wanted to gag...disbelieving how a scent I just had whole-heartedly complimented my mom on could smell so -literally- rotten on myself, I went in again for a sniff of my wrist and... even more repulsive...😕
Needless to say, I didn't buy Angel for myself that day😅
P.s.: To this day, I still regret not just buying the flankers -- not only because they smelled amazing on me and were on sale but because I freaking knew that I would probably never ever come across them in the shops again and I still couldn't bring myself to splurge *just a teenie bit* more🤣🤣😒
I’m sure you could easily find them online. Have you tried?
@@teeeff8337 The 2020 version, probably yes... -just not for that price point and the immediate assurance of having an original😭- 😅😅
Angel smells awful on me, too!! I thought I was the only one.
I've smelled angel on someone and thought I will have to try that it's so beautiful, I put it on and it smelled like the absolute worst bad breath teeth falling out hallotosis vomit ever I have never wiped a perfume off before but I did that day
YSL Black Opium doesn't surprise me. I tried so hard to like that fragrance but each time I got a test sample and tried it on me. I wanted to buy it less and less. I love intense perfumes, but I think the coffee note in it. Is what kills it for a lot of people. I finally found my YSL perfume though. And that was YSL Libre Le Perfume. OMG not only does that one smell amazing on me. But it last so long and it's a newer YSL, so not many people have it yet.
This list is frighteningly accurate. I own a few that were never my favorites. May have to throw them out now. Lol. If only Bacarat Rouge 540 were number one the list! Can't blame skin chemistry either. It smells suspicious straight out of the bottle like spoiled medicine. And on paper. And on other people. Also, other perfumes that smell like BR540 stink too. There are a lot of bestselling, popular perfumes that are not on this list because they smell GOOD! Ksenja has mostly fantastic perfumes...especially gourmands...but the ones on this list (and a few others) need to go.
I like La Vie Est Belle but I think it’s a good beginner scent for when you don’t know what you’re really into yet. It’s a very safe, pleasant, all around good scent that isn’t too strong, but for me personally I outgrew it quickly and moved onto Garden by Dolce and Gabana 😊
I don‘t think so at all. It‘s insanely sweet
Not a safe blind but at all
I disagree, it's so sweet and strong it's nauseating.
Love the new background
Great video. Personally I like but not love Chanel no5. I tried it the first time probably when I was in my early 30s, now I’m 44 and my opinion hasn’t changed. It’s a nice perfume but it is very aldehyde heavy. For it to work in my opinion you have to wear it for formal classy events, and for a 30+ age group. Overall it is not one of my absolute favorites, but I think I would like to keep it in my collection because it does smell nice for the right occasion, and has a lot of history behind it.
This video made me feel. So validated lol
The only one I love on this list is light blue. My husband got it for me and at FIRST. I was like hmm I think I hate this (didn’t tell him). I wore it a couple times. Got so many compliments. It grew on me and now it’s my go to honestly.
My husband also bought me coco mademoiselle and I hate it. I never wear it. Probably about to give it away it’s been like a year.
When I was a kid my dad took us to the perfume counter and let us pick out anything we wanted for our mom. We picked angel. I’m thirty now and she still has that perfume and the bottle is still full. She absolutely hated it lol
And lastly. I almost. ALMOST blind bought black opium. I had heard so many good things about it I go in the store thinking I’m walking out with it. I smelled it. I hated it. I’m still confused as to why I don’t feel what other people feel when they smell it. so it’s nice to see. I’m not actually crazy. Because it was on this list Lmaooo!
I love TF Tobacco Vanille. I did not at first, but then I tried it again and the dry down is amazing. I find with Tom Ford fragrance that they initially smell bad, but improve over time.
I love it! I just discovered it about a month ago and have been obsessed. Dry down is like a spicy brownie on me. I smell delicious.
I'm wearing it right now. I love it.
Light blue smells like lemon cleaner to me and Tom ford black orchid has to be one of the worst perfumes I've ever had. My grandma gave it to me and I can't get it to work. Even one spray and I have to scrub it off
Finally somebody that agrees with me that Light Blue is trash 😁
Angel EDT is everything. The EDP has a patchouli/cat pee scent but the EDT is sooo good. My signature scent.
okay but IM OBSESSING OVER THAT SWEATER YOU'RE WEARING
it's such a cute colour and it looks so soft and comfy
I agree with a lot on this list; not because they smell aweful, but because they're either linear, they lack somewhere in their performance (whether longevity or projection, and/or they're just overused/overrated. I am a HUGE fragrance lover, so I can tell which perfume many ppl are wearing. Now that I am older, I look for more unique and complex scents. I look for scents that stand out from what everyone else is constantly wearing.
Not 3 of my absolute faves in the thumbnail lol 🥴 happy holidays Ksenja!
I'm 29 and I've always been a huge fan of Chanel No.5. My mom used to wear White Diamonds when I was a kid and it was soo nice, classy, lady-like and motherly. My mom and I both wore Angel and s couple of others from the list 🙈 I must say people frequently comment how good I smell. It is probably related to the skin's pH.
On the other hand, I CANNOT STAND BR540. It gives me an instant headache.
Woo Hoo...I only have one from your list and I'm wearing it right now. Black Opium and I love it! I can't stand Angel!
After smelling 20+ Tom Ford fragrances, I am only a fan of Lost Cherry. So many of them have that grandma/grandpa old person vibe which I'm not a fan of.
I'm a fresh scent girl so I find Lancome perfumes too strong for me...I also don't get the hype with Black Opium.
I always hated Lancome scents even when I would get a sample I would throw them out ..just not a pleasurable scent at all.
I agree with this video. I literally always say this. I liked My Way on the opening, but the dry down is horrible. The rest straight up stink.
I absolutely love Angel and Chanel #5 😂😂😂. I was a little surprised by some of the scents on the list lol
I like Chanel N5 it smells good more like a clean scent and reminds me of my mom I don’t think it’s a bad smell and in my opinion not really a grandma scent more like a light clean scent for people who don’t like something that’s too over powering
Like the first perfume you showed how it reminded you of your mother and attached to it I'm like that with Red Door I've worn it a few times but i mostly keep it to remember my mom always reminds me of her it was her favorite. 💜
Heyyy Ksenja !! We all have different noses , diferent backgrounds and all over influences. There is a market for everyone and every perfume : ) wish you lots of success for your channel , sweetie !
Big hugs from Portugal , Europe.
This list is from a pool in her IG. Not her choices,😁
Sounds a bit condescending. Isn't the point of being a social media star/influencer to share your opinions? Plus this video's list was from a poll.
Before I was into perfume, I had the opportunity to take my step-grandmother’s bottle of Chanel #5 home with me from my grandpa’s house, I was cleaning out her closet, but I wasn’t about it. It just smells so dated! No one smells like that anymore! If I was cleaning out her closet at this point in my perfume journey I might grab it just to have it, but meh. I got her knock off Burberry scarf and her knock off LV duffel lol
I absolutely adore my way it’s my signature scent I don’t no how anyone could dislike it 😢
I actually find that Black Opium smells like maple syrup that’s been out all day. Like at first the syrup smells good, but then it gets that weird smell that I can’t describe after it’s been sitting out too long if you didn’t wash the dishes that day 😂 That’s the most accurate way I can describe why I don’t like that scent
How do you not like ysl Black Opium 😲 it’s so spicy and sexy. I don’t care how OG it is.
It reminds me of older ladies, like an aunt or a godmother would wear this
black opium was the first "designer" perfume I've ever had and it was my signature scent for YEARS. it was my signature scent for so long that now when I smell it its boring for me but man, I've gone through soooo many bottles of that stuff. now it just smells like memories w my ex boyfriend lmao I also wore alien all through high school which looking back is crazy considering that stuff is STRONG and everyone probably had a headache walking past me in the hallways
The thing I like about Chanel #5 is that it gives me fond memories of my Mom who used to have it, & she's been gone now for yrs. & yrs. so that's about the only reason why I would pick it up at a fragrance counter & sniff it, just to help remind me of memories of her. It's not a fragrance that I would own though, it's just not my taste in perfume.
I do not ever planning on wearing No. 5, but it has been my mother’s signature scent since she was a teenager so it is very comforting to me.
I love Thierry Mugler Alien. Wear it frequently. As for the worst perfume IMHO, Estée Lauder Youth Dew should be on this list. 🤢
I'm 36 and absolutely love Chanel No. 5❤️
There is something about it that no other perfume has!!
I'm always surprised when I see My Way on a dislike list. My Way is my signature scent. But it's so interesting to see what people love and dislike because we all have such unique tastes! ☺️💜 Happy Holidays Ksenja!
I knowww My Way is a beautiful sweet white floral scent and it doesn't deserve the hate
Hryyy I have that perfume and I was wondering if you know any products that I can layer this scent with?
@@salemhagos5174 I haven't found a scent that is pretty identical to My Way, however I do have a few favorite scents from Bath and Body Works that I use to layer it with. I use Poppy, A Thousand Wishes and Confetti Daydream. Typically I just use those in body cream form with the perfume. Honestly though, I use My Way on its own more than I do layered.
@@salemhagos5174 I layer it’s with lotion bath and body works into the night ❤ adds some sweetness ❤
I really like My Way too but cant stand the Givenchy fragrance that's meant to be very similar
No 5 was classic perfumery back then that was for the classy lady in mind at the time. It’s definitely not for me but I have a lot of respect for its origin.
When i wear Pink Sugar people fell in love with me.
Say wherever you want,this perfume is a sexy,flirty masterpiece
I love la vie este belle! That’s my preference though. It lasts a long time on me too
Omg, I think I would watch a full video of you just reading and reacting to Fragrantica reviews 🤣🤣
I think maybe #5 would have been bumped if anyone had remembered Estée Lauder Youth Dew. One drop is nuclear.... just saying. And it's really hard to remove.
So most of them are smelling bad bit are bestsellers because of the name. And some of them really smell bad but they wake up a sense of nostalgia and that‘s why they are mostly loved.
I smelled My Way on my step sister just a few months ago and OMG, she smelled so good! I was like, whatever it is, I need it. But I went to the store and smelled it and it didn't smell the same, so I didn't grab it.
My most hated perfumes: MFK - Baccarat Rouge, TF- Black Orchid, Pascal Morabito - Sultan Noir. But you know, there are plenty people for whom this could be a Top 3. Skin chemistry is even more important in how a perfume is perceived than a nose.
My perfume collection actually has quite the range. While my Top 5 favourite notes are Jasmine, Vanilla, Amber, Red berries and - this is new, they beat Orangeblossom - roses (Peony for summer, sultry red rose for winter) I like the majority of fragrance types: Gourmands (fruit based to edible cake like), Amber perfumes (plain amber to amber Vanilla and spicy amber), Spicy-Sweet (floral or other), Fruity Florals, White floral fragrances, Oriental perfumes, the occasional Chypre, Liquor or Tobacco scents, and even some of the stronger Middle Eastern Oud bottles have found a way to my Perfume Heart. Oh, and to my utmost surprise 2022 saw the inclusion of a few, what I qualify as, "freshies": clean musk (Lattafa - Pure Musk), sweet laundry or cream (Issey Miyake - A drop d'Issey) salon shampoo (Armaf - Femme) or a fresher floral (Zara- Applejuice/Peony/Hibiscus). I like those for sleeping, on my clothes and/ or in summer.
Perfume has become very important for my mental health condition. I'm very seriously ill, always in pain, extremely limited and isolated + financially not very stable. Depression is always a risk for those with chronic pain and other chronic diseases and with the added strain of financial stress things like anxiety or depression could creep up on me if I didn't work for it. Scent is the dominant one from all of our senses and the only one too that links memories and feelings. It's why the freshly baked apple pie used to be a realtor trick and a lot of department stores use(d) fragrances to make you feel comfy & spend-y. You can truly influence how you feel & deal with fragrance, so definitely don't listen to anyone who hates your favourite perfumes. If it makes you happy... well, it truly does 😊. And to anyone, particularly in these times with the (I hate them) holidays, who suffers from mental health issues: you're NOT alone. Sometimes smelling awesome just isn't enough to reach the light in dark times, so please reach out to someone, even if it's an anonymous telephone number or online service. You're worth it ❤️. Love from The Netherlands.
You should try Chloe Nomade if you haven’t already. Thank you for the second paragraph by the way. My grandma passed away last month and since then i’ve been having really bad anxiety about life and death and all of the above. it is a really bad feeling but i’m trying bc to stay positive and hope for the best. ❤
I hated Kayali Vanilla 28 with my whole heart. I bought it online because there’s not a Sephora near me, and it was the biggest disappointment of 2022 for me. It’s okay though, I returned it and bought Burberry Her Elixir instead :)
I can definitely relate to why people don’t like them. I felt the same about most of these!
Tea is about to be spilled! 👀
My way is so sweet it’s gorgeous I thought you would love that scent you really need to wear it in the skin it’s to die for
This was a fun list! I actually really like Black Opium, 540, la vie est Belle, Alien, and a few of the others, but Angel smells revolting on me!! I didn’t realize so many other people have had that same experience with it!
Agrees Angel is horrible.
For me, it would be JLo Miami Glow (smells like BO), Light Blue (bathroom spray), My Way, and Alien Goddess Intense.
Why alien goddess intense? I was gonna blind buy it.
@@jaslinstanley2859 I personally think the jasmine is way too strong.
I hate Miami Glow and Glow! 🥴
@@jaslinstanley2859 The jasmine was way too strong, it is offensive. The original Alien Goddess is so much better.
I love mugler perfumes so much. Lol they are different, nothing else like them. Alien is my love. Angel paved the way for all gourmand scents. My moms signature perfume is tabu. She has been wearing it since she was a teen, and shes now in her 70s. It was created the same year as Chanel #5, in 1932. Its what i would call a vintage perfume, and i wouldnt personally wear it, but i LOVE it on my mom.
Coco Mademoiselle and la vie est belle are literally two of my top most complemented fragrances which is funny lol people always ask what I’m wearing which is crazy considering how everyone says they’re basic
Like I just know everyone who voted only know a few fragrances. I just realized baccarat rouge is also on here. There hasn’t been a single day when I’ve worn this and haven’t had almost every single person I encounter tell me that I smell amazing
Yes I love the la vie est belle too
I’m so glad my way made this list because I hate this perfume so much lol
Same 😂 One of the worst ever imo
I think it just depends on preference. I love the smell of a nice pipe tobacco but I don’t wanna smell like it.
Tom Ford perfumes can be described as too authentic. For example, if it says "leather" on the bottle, it will smell like a (brand-new) leather couch. If it says "cigar", you will walk around smelling as if you puffed cigars all day.
I find it so interesting about why people like what they like. It seems like memory and scent associations have a lot to do with it.
Great Video! Years ago I was counter manager for a couple of cosmetic lines at a department store, and I remember not being able to stand the smell of Estee Lauder White Linen! Just in recent years have I started liking scents that are more 'fresh' or 'linen' like.....agree on Chanel #5, though.....
Chanel No. 5. A good example of longing on my part. My mom wore this and smelled amazing. I've tried it through the years as my body's changed and it just doesn't love me. It smells of uric acid on me and I
d rather smell good. Yes, I have a bottle that has the same status as your Coco Mmsl. It's there to remind me. When I really miss her, I smell the bottle.
My way and YSL black Opium will forever be my babies lol I do hate Chanel N5 though. Someone said Kayali pink pepper reminds them of white diamonds and I disagree.
It's about to be 50k fam... More success to you Girl... This lavender sweat looks beautiful on you.. I don't like most the celebrity scents besides some exceptions.. For my nose, most of them smell the same..
A lot of these are classics, I think a lot of these are unpopular because people have smelled them too much, they got hyped too much, they have a bad experience associated with the scent, or their mom wore it/ wears it
Santal 33 kills my vibe
For me I absolutely hate aura thierry mugler and Lolita lempicka, makes me so nauseous and the worse migraine, but my favorite perfume of all time is Alien
I don't like Pink Sugar by itself? I mix it with Floral Street-Wonderland Peony..and then the Pink Sugar adds like a warm fireplace type Vibe for Winter? Love the Mix!! It gives me a good feeling...🌸🔥👌👌👌
Omg I love Tobacco Vanille soooo much. One blogger once compared the opening of the scent to the freshly opened package of tobacco when it's almost slightly wet and smells like dried fruits. For me it smells like fresh rich black tea with sugar because of the vanilla. I wish to have enough money to afford at least the smallest bottle of it because I cannot stop wanting it for a loooong time
Oh I soooo LOVE "Perfect" by Marc Jacobs. It' s gorgeous, uplifting perfume and the bottle is beautiful! 🥰. Also "My Way" is a great scent. 💖
It seems like La Vie Est Belle always pops up on "most hated lists" and that intrigues me. I have a LOT of fragrances and it is by far my most complimented perfume. And mostly by men. There is something in it that men really seem to like. Maybe the vanilla. Not sure but I personally love it. Now Chanel No.5. I tried wearing this when I was super young and it was so strong I just couldn't do it. I kind of liked it because it was so different than anything I'd ever smelled before but whoo....just too strong and mature. Fast forward to now and hear me out on this...layer it with Vanilla 28. I know, weird. But it'll change your life, lol
I love getting ready for the day while watching your videos :)
Lol.. K so White Diamonds is legit VILE! I literally just bought it for my mother-in-law who just turned 95. She LOVED it! Enough Said!
I blind bought marc jacobs perfect, I used the entire bottle( which is very cute btw, love the little runtz banana) but I agree, it is a basic scent and doesn't project it doesn't last very long
angel is my favorite perfume, yeah its so sweet but i wear it when its really cold ,its so comforting scent for the cold days.
Oh man... I LOVE White Diamonds. I adore vintage style perfumes. It's just so much more to my taste. And my great grandmother DID wear it. And she smelled fabulous!
Chanel no. 5 falls flat to me. I like aldehydes, but that's all I get from it. Just soap.
I love Chanel No5 cuz it’s the only fragrance my mom uses so it’s weird but it comforts me HAHAHA
Also Calvin Klein Euphoria is beyond a headache when people wear it I can smell it for days lol 😂
Yeees, love these videos!!! 😍
Interesting. Honestly ones I like on this list are, black opium, Perfect, 540, and La vie Bell
I like Angel and flankers and A*Men. Guess I'm an angel girl on the alien or angel divide. I do like Chanel #5 , the Eau Premiere and the Edp versions best . I tend to like tea scents and spice/ incense as my favorite fragrance genres. Also classic true chypre green scents( Chanel #19) .
I used to wear black opium at work in my factory, and men and woman would hunt me down asking me what I’m wearing love it, I wear it at dr apptments, love bac 540, and now I wear santal 33 and bergamot 22 by lelabo
