Eau d'Hermès by Hermès

I had to drive all the way to the Manhattan Hermes Boutique to smell this. No one sells it. Being the great masterpiece everyone's raving about, from professionals in the field to the end user, I wondered how that could be.

After spraying some on my hand and neck - to fully appreciate the fragrance - I discovered why you won't find this fragrance anywhere.

I came very close to puking my guts out.

The stuff is positively repulsive. It smells like dead cats. Like manure. Like things that are left to decay and rot.

But hey! Wait! This is the masterpiece by the great Roudnitska. Everybody says it's great. This is one of the great ones for sure.

Well, people are afraid to disagree with the majority opinion. There are psychological studies that prove this.

How anyone can like this fragrance is beyond me. I just had to wash my neck with soap, after having to smell this for about an hour with no escape. It stinks!

Tabac Blond by Caron

There is something dark, uncanny, and almost diabolical about this fragrance. Imagine being in a 'new age' cafe, full of vegan homosexuals and pagan lesbians. It is a witch's poison potion, reeking freakiness and portending evil.

If you do not want dark thoughts and disturbing emotions to be conjured in your heart, steer clear of this one.
