Fragrances that made you cry

[ionone]

I've smelled only a handful of fragrances that were so beautiful (the first time I smelled them) they made me cry a little bit.
YES
and i'm a man (and i'm not really depressed lol)

did it even happen to you ?

[PrinceRF]

Not yet.

[Mak-7]

I cry when bad perfumes are around me. Feels like they are punching me in the face

[Diamondflame]

Yeah. A few of them did. Right after I bought them and saw my expense account.

did it even happen to you ?

Once, 13 years ago.

You cant say that it happened to you, and then not reveal what the fragrance was!!

[PStoller]

I got some in my eye once. Does that count?

I didn't write the perfumes, because I don't want people to think they are amazing perfumes, while every taste is different, so what might work for me might not for other people

but here is a few :
Boadicea - Intense
Clean Reserve - Skin
and yesterday Armani Privé - Cuir Améthyste (so insane)

Fashion Two-Twenty pour Homme was literally so horrific, my eyes misted over.

I'm being serious.

I still have it, with the box, as a souvenir of the worst blind buy in the history of my life.

It holds a mythical status in my wardrobe.......even though it's unwearable.

[Darjeeling]

Never.

[UncleBuck]

TBH, it never even crossed my mind that this was possible.

[Zealot Crusader]

When I smelled a vintage Avon worn by my mother for the first time in years, and memories came flooding back,

[Bavard]

It's not a response I can imagine. At most, I'll say something such as, "Wow, this is nice."

[Ifti]

Almost cried with laughter- Kouros !

[Rüssel]

Cry how? Like someone kicked you in the balls? Out of self pity? Anger? To manipulate the sales assistant? Joy? I assume the latter.

Can't say I did. Not even when eating cake with extra cream and strawberries. But it's very nice that they make you so happy, of course.

Once, 13 years ago.

What was it??

[Scents And Sense]

Nope, it's never happened to me. If I smell a good perfume I'll probably smile, but I've never cried.

[Cook.bot]

Just once. Four years ago my boss gave me a birthday present of a 200ml bottle of Chanel Sycomore, the old, discontinued EDT version -- just exactly at the time they discontinued it and switched to EDP. I burst into tears when I opened that huge Chanel box.

[The Cologne Cabinet]

Not yet, the search continues.....

[LiveJazz]

Nope.

If a fragrance were to have a chance at making me cry, it would probably have to do with a triggered memory. I just don't have that much emotional fragrant history in my life, I guess.

Cook.bot's cry makes sense to me as well. A well-timed and unexpected gift can be emotional.

[Ken_Russell]

Few to none so far.
However if any fragrances would have been the likeliest candidates to cause tears of joy (rather than sadness, depression etc.) the likeliest personal choices whose craftiness might have impressed one to tears would have included certain mostly vintage renditions.

Of both certain designer scents like: Boss Elements,Relax by Davidoff, Escada PH, Joop What About Adam, Bogart Furyo, Ungaro II, Spazio Krizia, Joint by Roccobarocco, Faconnable, yet also a few niche ones like Creed REL, several vintage Lutens including Ambre Sultan, Feminite du Bois and Chypre Rouge, Knize Forest.

Never cried over a fragrance.....yet.

[lilioka]

Nah, I only was close to crying seeing some price tags during the pandemic.

Now, YOUR reaction I can understand. That was a timely, thoughtful gift.

As much as I enjoy PPH or Super Fragrance, I can't imagine it ever bringing a tear to my eye.

[Quarry]

Yes. It caught me by surprise. I never knew the experience of feeling like crying over beauty, the way some may speak about an opera, etc. But then, in the shower, I sudsed up a bar of Diptyque L'Ombre dans L'Eau soap, and I felt the emotional impact of overwhelming beauty. The liquid perfume doesn't compare. That bar soap just sends me.

[FragFrog]

Happens only when memories are attached to the fragrance.

Hi Quarry, nice pic!

[notspendingamillion]

I dont feel those emotions that deeply. Im not against it. Its fine. Guys can cry. I dont though, generally speaking, even when im really sad, like immediate family death. Im dry. So no, perfumes do not bring tears.

[Bonnette]

That has never happened to me. Swoon, gasp, hand-to-heart, yes...cry, no.

[teardrop]

That has never happened to me. Swoon, gasp, hand-to-heart, yes...cry, no.

This.

l have been known to laugh with joy occasionally, or tut or sigh with disappointment, but never cry.
