Ever once in a while I receive a new sample and upon opening it am greeted with a very distinct, pronounced stench most reminiscent of burnt paper and extreme dryness. Although I can smell other notes that most people would attribute to the fragrance, I cannot escape the strong, overwhelming stink that seems to drown everything else. For example Creed "SMW" is all but stench to me with barely perceivable fresh and floral notes. Same for Hermes "Un Jardin Après La Mousson" and Lacoste "Essential" - all reek of this very particular "aroma".
This must be very subjective - my personal olfactory senses. Perhaps it's some chemical compound, perhaps the combination of them. Does anyone else know what I mean?
