Hello all - my first message and question.
I am new to the world of fragrance and have been trying different scents in an attempt to find what I like. Â*Lots of fun, for sure. Â*I have run across two scents that have a bad odor in common and would like to try to determine if it is an ingredient in common with the two colognes that reacts badly with my skin chemistry or if it is the telltale smell of an old or rancid cologne. Â*The odor, as best I can describe it is like when one first opens a jar of instant iced tea powder. Â*It is a sour, rancid like smell that is most unpleasant. Â*The other notes of the cologne are there, but this overrides all else and lasts untill I wash off. Â*The two colognes are Herrera for men and Creed Erolfa tried from purchased sample or mini vials - not store testers. Â*Any common ingredients in these two fragrances that could react the same on me - or just old cologne since they were samples or minis that I tried? Â*Any ideas as to which theory hold true here?
