Not that I do not like them. Just wasn't all that was cracked up to be.

Midnight in Paris.
Terre 'd Hermes
post #13 of 96
Polo Green (and, to be honest, all the Polo fragrances. Ralph Lauren makes superb polo shirts, though...)
Cool Water (I know this gets a lot of love here, but it brings back bad memories for me. Sorry, fans.)
Euphoria Men (LOVE the women's Euphoria, can't stand the men's.)

I notice a lot of hate for 1 Million here. Personally, I love it, but almost anything advertised with a Chemical Brothers soundtrack would pass my test.

OP's list is right on for me. I own Kouros and Terre d'Hermes, and I keep trying to get into them. I can kind of see the appeal, but. . . not really working for me.

Fahrenheit: again, I keep trying. Not much luck so far.

Others mentioned here: Guerlain Vetiver, Prada anything, Polo anything, The Dreamer. . . still not really doing it for me.

I should also add most of the "older" fragrances such as :


1. Jicky
2. Habit Rouge
3. Antaeus
4. Heritage
5. Derby


All old and boring to me.

Good list of things not to like.
Black Aoud-loud, overbearing, and horrible, but with the love it gets I wondered if my sample was wrong, so I ordered another; still horrible. In fact anything from Montale except Dark Aoud.
ISM-I love Serge and Chris but ISM took 3-4 hours before the carrots wore off, unwearable.
Terre d'Hermes Parfum-first half hour I liked, after that became a scrubber.

Honorable Mention-anything from Guerlain except LIDGE, guerlinade and the oakmoss chypre bases are not for me.
post #60 of 96
Paco Rabanne 1 Million - toxic.
Nautica Voyage - toilet cleaner.
Versace Man Au Fraiche - lasts all of about 20 minutes (thankfully!)
