Tauer's Vetiver Dance is the most nauseating scent experience I've ever had the misfortune of coming across. Literally could not tolerate it five minutes before making a dash for running water.
Leather Oud... I *love* that frag, but it's *seriously* powerful! I gave myself a few too many sprays of it, and it smelled *amazing*, but I was about to go out and I was worried about giving people around me cancer from its nuclear power! :/ I showered again and it was *still* there!![]()

Musc Ravageur , have a real love hate thing with it, and other heavy musks.
The only ones that gave me the urge to scrub them off as they somewhat started to annoy me were The Dreamer and Obsession for men. Else I mainly scrub off scents that leave me cold and stand in the way of putting on something else instead.
Farenheit. Never again.

Did not expect to see Fahrenheit in here. Interesting. I love that the variables in the bottle do not change, however our noses, senses and even tastes change, rendering every bottle completely subjective.
Untitled No. 8 - I usually struggle through a bad fragrance, at least that way I'll know I hate it top-to-bottom, but I just couldn't go around with my hand smelling like poo all day!

Oud 27 by Le Labo.
Hypnotic Poison. It's odd because I really enjoyed the fragrance, and was sitting at my computer typing some stuff for work happily sniffing away. It was a suggestion from BN, and I thought I'd found what I was looking for. It seemed very strong which was great because I have about half a dozen of those Dior 'little luxury' mini boxes, each with a little vial of Hypnotic Poison, more than enough for a season or so.
Then something terrible happened. I began to feel off-colour, and thought it would be best to wash some off. So I did, but I could still smell it. I ended up throwing up, and had to take two showers. When that failed to remove it I scoured my arms with rubbing alcohol, but even then traces remained which caused me to throw up further. In the end I had to light oil burners filled with eucalyptus and mint all over the house and even then I was catching slight whiffs. Every time I caught even the slightest scent of it my stomach would curl.
It's sad because, as I say, I do like the way it smells. It simply doesn't agree with me on some level, in a big way.
Xeryus Rouge is another. I remember liking it when it first came out too, so perhaps it's changed, or perhaps I've changed. Either way it's too cloying for me.
Two way tie. Lauder for men and Paris Hilton for men. Hilton for men is just as worse as her talent. Oh, I forgot she doesn't have any!
Play Intense not because I was adverse to the scent but just two sprays to the neck in the heart choked me out.
Chergui
Another strong +1 on this! I gave it a couple hours, waiting for the nice vanilla drydown everyone always talks about. Never came & I just couldn't take it anymore. Harsh & unforgiving frag on my skin. Wish I could've found the classic beauty in it, but it didn't happen.
Truth or Dare by Madonna
Ungaro III. I bought it blind a while ago. Sprayed some last night and found it has that Cool Water/Polo Blue/, generic masculine body-wash/shaving cream/moisturizer note in the drydown that won't go away and always makes me feel a bit like throwing up. I wish I didn't have that reaction because it's in everything, but what can I do? My body says no.
Did this thread a while back, but my last scrubber was M7 Oud Absolu. Gave me a stinking headache, that did.

I don't bother trying to struggle through something that I don't like at the top--I'm never gonna wear it, so why bother? And I'm fairly picky. Thank goodness for samples.

Oh. Muh. GAWD. This! Interesting though, I recently smelled it in a magazine strip and thought "This is kind of good." Tone it waaaaay the heck down and it's probably something I could like, but it's so overpoweringly sickeningly sweet. To be fair, I'm in my late 30s which means I'm not the target 1 Million was created for.
