Secretions Magnifiques easily. This does indeed smell like rape and / or fresh crimescene. I respect them so much for making a perfume that actually makes me think of things like that (not that I've ever smellt either but that's what I'm thinking it should smell).

Secretions Magnifiques also resulted in quite a few hillarious youtube videos.

My mother used to have this back in the mid-80's and she just loved it. I felt like she's hurting me everytime she wore it.

Thank goodness it is discontinued now.

There are a few things that make me queasy but I don't find any perfumes offensive. Tasteless, maybe.

Wow so many people dislike A*men ... I love it.

To me, the most offensive fragrance, that made me puke was D&G Pour Homme. I didn't know the meaning of offensive until I smelled that.

Creed Original Santal. It smelled sweeter than Joop on my wrist. Used to like it, but I find it very offensive today.

Tea scents in general tend to make me nauceus. Gucci Pour Homme II being the exception.

Kouros. I can respect it for what it is, but it does smell quite like urine on my wrist.

Le Male
The Dreamer
$1 Million (These 3 smell similar to me. Some kind of synthetic sweet plasticy smell I can't put my finger on).
Korous (used to be fine with it, but no longer)

I did a quick turnaround on A*Men. Sprayed it on my hand for the first time 4 weeks ago and said "What the crap is this??" Some kind of burnt sugary sensory overload. I wasn't ready for it since it was so unexpected. Then I kept smelling it throughout the day. Day 2 I kind of missed it. Bought a bottle the next week. Love it now.

C&S Citrus Paradisi - A really awful grapefruit scent with something fecally unpleasant lurking in the background. It smells like a public restroom toilet that has been cleaned with detergent. A truly horrid fragrance, yuuukkk!
post #73 of 94
Every now and then I try some samples I have sat in the wayside and today was the turn of this...

Solo Loewe Eau de Cologne Intense

Imagine its a baking hot day and someone is endlessly pouring chlorine into a very small swimming pool, Its an Ozonic, Caloney stink that is fascinatingly disgusting. Dreadful quality and it has that burning plastic synthetic quality that makes Le Male look positively majestic by comparison.

A must try.. for a laugh, I can't imagine anyone wanting to smell like this.

A Scent by Issey Miyake
post #76 of 94
Obsession - both the men's and women's variants. Makes the wearer smell like they need a shower. Cloying and headachey. The original Poison. Dolce Vita. Anything by Burberry. Kouros (my father-in-law drenches himself in this, bless him.) Brut - too powdery. Givenchy Irresistable - any of the versions of that. Cloyingly sweet. Yeuch. BUT, I have to add in agreement with another post, this is a very subjective thing. You wear what makes you happy. I imagine my olfactory delights may be another's poison.

Oh, and JPG Le Male. It screams. That's all I'm saying.

Don't forget the urine in the foreground. Very, very challenging descendent of the disco bomb YSL Pour Homme

Totally agree with you on Fahrenheit and Le Male, but the others seem fairly innocuous. Do you really find Issey, Jungle, Angel, Amarige and Light Blue "offensive"? I think they're definitely all overpowering, but offensive?

I understood offensive in a "overpowering" meaning, that can sounds offensive to others. I like and wear a lot of my list actually.

That's more a clarity question than a language one... Entendeu?

In descending into hell order:

10. A tie between Pino Sylvestre and Salvador Dali PH--The first is moldy crypt in a dungeon, the second is forgivable if it is meant to offend

9. Dior Homme--Yep I get the lipstick note too. It could have been a good choice for Lauren Bacall back in the 1940's

8. The Dreamer--Not that bad, provided you're a romantic brooding poet AND no older than 15. Otherwise puerile poop.

7. A*Men--Perfectly OK IF you date a girl who uses Pink Sugar.

6. Kouros-- A love it or hate it scent, I can't stand it. It's the kind of soap I'd expect THING to hand me in the Addams Family bathroom. Or handed out in a Greek prison.

5. Le Male-- aka "Alone Tonight Sailor? "-- Though I admit the marketing is unintentionally funny.

4. Amouage Gold for Men---I think 'honeyed cat pee' covered it well. Makes any overpriced Serge Lutens honeyed fruitcake seem reasonable by comparison.

3. Joop!--No comment necessary.

2. Quorum----some frags are referred to as "sex in a bottle"--This is crotch in a bottle

1.Drum roll for THE worst of all:

Givenchy Incense Ultramarine--Underwater Chemical Warfare.

(Although I admit I've never tried Secretions Magnifiques.--Somehow, I think I'll skip it)

Cheers,

Mario

Well that makes sense, Moore, my friend! I know exactly what you mean. You find these fragrances strong and realise they might be overpowering to other people, but you love them, so hard cheese! LOL! Good for you! I'm a bit like that with J'Adore. I know it's very strong, but I could bathe in it, so those around me will just have to share in its gorgeousness or put a clothes peg on their noses. It's funny how you go off certain perfumes you used to love. Years ago, I loved DKNY (the original skyscraper bottle). Now I think it's a bit tacky. Once, while wearing it, a bloke at work said that when I walked past, the scent I left behind was like a spring shower of rain on freshly cut grass. Apart from the fact it's hard to believe a British guy would even say something like that without laughing, it made me love my DKNY even more. But not now. It is all subjective, though. My Elie Saab may be someone else's rotten eggs. How common is it for women to wear so-called men's fragrance and vice-versa? I'm thinking of trying Givenchy Gentleman mixed with Agent Provocateur. How do you do this layering thing? Just squirt both at once? One on each side? Leave an hour inbetween? Advice, please oh scent aficionados.

Today, I am floating around in a cloud of YSL Elle. Got the body lotion on as well. Yum. Apart from my L'Occitane and Bond No 9, I haven't had anything really non mainstream. What should I try? I love Agent Provocateur, Elle by YSL, Elie Saab, J

@Mario Justiniani: lol!!!! Descending into hell order was great!
post #93 of 94
Mario Justiniani - Excellent use of your descriptive skills there, mate. LOL. Can I add L'Occitane Eau d'Iparie to my list? If you sprayed this on your wrist last year, you'll still be trying to scour it off in 2017. I used to love Angel, although I only ever wore the body cream, as I thought the perfume was just too much. Now I find that offensive. But only in the sense that it's overpowering.
