The Best Smelling And Worst Smelling Perfumes
- Thread starter ignitioned32
- Start date
Well my picks have changed a bit...I still love Chanel Chance. It was my first "big girl" perfume when I was 14. I've really gotten into Escada perfumes-Ibiza Hippie, Rockin' Rio, Sunset Heat, but Pacific Paradise and Island Kiss smell absolutely divine.
As for ones I don't like, Flowerbomb makes my eyes water. There's just something...naff about it. The Missoni perfume was one I wanted to like but it was too chocolate-y and I don't like smelling chocolate. Estee perfumes aren't that great either and ditto on Anna Sui.
I remember I used to have Sunflowers and it smells SO cheap.

Love:
Opium by Yves Saint Laurent- It just smells like something a rich person would wear. So sexy ,yet classy. And the name is so provocative. I just love it!.
Pi by Givenchy- I always loved this scent. Sometimes its very sweet, other times it is very moody.
Hanae Mori for Men- It has a very clean scent. And it makes me feel a lot more mature than I am.
Hate:
Magic Noire by Lancome- My grandmother was given this fragrance by an even older lady and it just smells so spicy. Like ground-up peppers. I honestly thought about putting it on some of the food I have eaten.
Fahrenheit by Dior- My brother wears this and he thinks he smells sooo good but it is just nauseating. Too strong for my tastes.

Dior Fahrenheit 32 and Bulgari Black seem to have loads of fans on BaseNotes.net, but on me, I only get burned rubber. Okay, Fahrenheit 32 starts off nice and fresh, but the rubber is too much for me. While on other people, it seems to turn into a sensual vanilla.

A few things I sniffed today and my feelings on them 
Dislike:
Gwen Stefani L
I really love Gwen so I was excited for this but ultimately the scent is far too generic for my tastes. It smells like about 5 other perfumes which is disappointing given that Gwen is a trendsetter and should really be coming out with a perfume that is different.
Sarah Jessica Parker Covet
This isn't horrible persay it just smells like watered down Chanel Allure. A shame since Lovely was a very nice perfume.
On The Fence:
Prada Infusion D'Iris
This is good but I wasn't blown away the way I was with the first Prada perfume. With the first one I wanted it from the moment I smelled it on the scent strip. It was just that good. Very heady and complex. This is lighter and less interesting - much more unisex but something is missing. I think it could smell very good on the right person though.
Marc Jacobs Daisy
Very cute and very young. I could see this being a really great perfume if I were still in high school. It smells of fresh apples much more so than daisy though. Perhaps they're trying to get into that DKNY Be Delicious market. I can't really see anyone older than 18 wearing this though - not that is smells bad its just too much like those fruit scented body sprays they had when I was a kid.
Sean John Unforgivable Woman
I thought I would hate this a great deal but it really wasn't bad at all.
Love:
Bond No. 9 Saks 5th Avenue
I thought it was weird that Bond was doing a Saks scent but its such a beautiful perfume! A great big bold gardenia but very modern. Gardenia is one of those notes that can smell kinda old lady but this is very sweet and lovely.

I know! I feel so guilty about it since it is such a classic, like champagne or a white button down shirt or LBD, but really I do not like the smell. It's too formal and not delicate or sexy (IMO).Chanel number 5.
Yes, Chanel no 5 is
