    I worked in the fragrance industry and most of these are actually best sellers! Maybe people voted for their favourites by accident because this doesn't seem correct based on my knowledge of what the ladies are buying...

      I think most hated perfumes are usually the ones that are most popular. Of course if you have something popular it will trigger hate as well. There are many less popular perfumes people just dont know about and many people dont like.

    I worked for Hermès perfumes and I developped a great taste and love for this beautiful world and for the history of perfumerie. I'm now a collector and I love the rarest perfumes from any olfactive family.
    Hermès, Guerlain, Sisley and Armani Privé are great houses to start from.
    I'm kind of sad to see Chanel n°5 was number 1. As someone who has spray all types of perfumes on any person possible, it really depends on the skin. When I spray it on me no 5 has very strong aldehydes, but after a couple of hours, it smells like fresh roses and ppl compliment on me a lot. And it lasts 24 hours so it's worth every penny.
    Each skin marries each own perfume 🥰, when you love a perfume, the perfume loves you back. And it's a beautiful world to explore if you have an open mind and you let yourself be surprised.

    Hi Anna, thanks for your review. Just wanted to say that I noticed you often used phrases like 'eww this smells like an old lady.' which implies that to smell like an old lady is a bad thing - that an old lady might smell like lavender, old books and boiled eggs or something). Anyway, maybe the time has come to ditch that line. I'm an 'old lady' and I do not smell like cheese - I'm ekeing out my last few precious drops of Tiempe Passate (Antonia's Flowers), bought for about AU$200 or 300 when it first came out in the 90s!

      Fragrance is no longer manufactured using natural components - the bulk of fragrances are wholly synthetic produced by a group called International Flavours and & Fragrances. (They produce all the smells one associates with cleaning products the fragrance in cosmetics, hygiene & personal care products and flavourings used in food manufacturing).
      They produce the so called raw materials that locations like Grasse in the south of France use to formulate the house brand perfume releases. A team of 'noses' as they are called will create the fragrance commissioned by a luxury brand. Because of cost there are a great deal of substitutions in the formulations therefore old favourites will inevitably change due to cost and focus on profit margin. More often than not the bottle is more expensive than the fragrance.

      Locating old formulas will be difficult and also because time is never kind to natural ingredients.
      Instead seek out new experiences - recently I sampled a range from Salvatore Ferragamo called Storie de SETA of which there are 4 or 5 themes only 2 had any interest for me - on the skin it's quite light and soothing in its notes profile - worth testing on the skin. Try them on different days but don't commit to buy until the right assembly of notes are there for you.

    Just one technical pointer: all of these fragrances were designed--actually, *engineered*--to be used on skin. And part of the excitement of perfume is that it may smell good on you, it may not. I passed a woman in a store wearing something lovely, and I asked her what she was wearing--Good Girl. That made me sad--I know for a fact it doesn't smell like that on me.

      Right. Through lots and lots of sampling, I've learned a couple of "rules of thumb" about "parfums" in general: (1) To me, anything by Chanel will smell atrocious on me. (2) To me, anything by Yves Saint Laurent will smell intoxicating on me. I can't say how they smell to anybody else -- I think the only time anybody ever asked me what I was wearing because it smelled good, it was Armani Mania.

    About 30 years ago a work colleague's boyfriend was a perfumist (he custom made perfumes) and had the gift of extra sensory smell. He could literally walk around a room of 100s of people and tell every person the perfume/after shave, shampoo/conditioner and skin moisturizer they were wearing purely by smell. Not only that he could advise the person what they "should" be wearing based on the emission of natural aroma from their body. He told me that every perfume smells differently on each individual because of how their own body behaves and that to truly appreciate a fragrance, you should spray some on your wrist then go about your normal day for 2-3 hours before you really sense it and then you will know how it really smells on your skin.

      I refuse to believe a fragrance emanating from someone else's body will give me cancer. Flowers should have been killing us in the wild if aromachemicals were so dangerous. Fragrances have a purpose in nature, fruits smell appealing so we can eat them and propagate their seeds. If you're nose is overreacting to every pleasant fragrance then perhaps the danger is to you, not the entire population.

    Smells are also strongly associated with memories. A good perfume can be hated simply because it’s associated with a bad memory - wether it’s an event or a person 😅 I think this factor adds an important amount of subjectivity to something already so personal.

I don't think I'm an "old lady" (agreeing with others you should really ditch that phrase), yet I respect many of these perfumes and have them in my collection for an occasional moment.

    This review is so interesting in that many of the perfumes you say are "hated by many women" are actually really loved by many women, men and many other reviewers within the perfume community. It's amazing how negative and/or allergic reactions, bad memories and stressful experiences can affect one's overall opinion of a certain fragrance.

I 'm sorry, but if you go on forums and sites where people who are really passionate about it, and who know how they are made, how trends are created, you would learn interesting things. I advise you to take a look at niche brands, like Lutens, Penhaligon' s, Guerlain's L'art et la Matière collection, Dyptique, etc, you will discover gems, and people will really compliment you. They are on the expensive side, true, but the essences, and concentration, above 25%, perfume, above eau de parfum, are worth it. It lasts for ages, has complexity, evolution on your skin. I'm hyperosmic, meaning I smell more than average people. I assure you there is a big difference. I could imagine what a perfume smells just by reading the pyramid. I reallyadvise you to go and search for something more personal, ask help, choose a brand that suits you. But always choose a fragrance that makes you feel well. Not the brand or the pretty bottle.

    Although I'm a bit late to the party, I must say that Baccarat Rouge must NEVER be sprayed on paper. When I first smelt it on a piece of paper I was absolutely disgusted and couldn't understand how someone can like this abhorrent chemical weapon at such an ungodly price. But then I thought of returning to the shop in a month and then sprayed it directly on my skin. And God almighty! the scent started playing out gorgeously. This is a molecular perfume so it plays tricks when on skin. The smell is actually stronger at a distance rather than when you try smelling it directly from the skin. It absolutely needs to mix with your body chemistry to really shine. And it wraps you in a cozy warm and sweet bubble of luxury.

    Hello ladies, I just want to make a comment about Opium. It was from the 70’s and I loved it back then. It was a rich long lasting fragrance and it was made from distilling plants and not made in a lab. Some years now it resembles nothing of its former self and I was informed by a consultant that the European Union had told various perfumers that they needed to change their formula and water it down. I believe that Guerlain also had to do this.
    I like fragrance made from plants not out of various bottles by a technician.

      Every time I smell Channel No5 I think of one of my dear old family “Auntie’s” and remember her enjoying her daily spritz along with her evening drink of Scotch.
      And every time I smell Youth Dew from Estee Lauder my mind immediately travels back to age seven and watching my beautiful Mom get dressed up for work in her pretty blouses and jewelry, looking glamorous.

My grandma fell in love and has been wearing Armani’s Sì since it was launched and as much as I loved it on her, when she gifted me a small bottle of it, I couldn’t wear it for years. I found it last winter and when I put it on, it captivated me. I’ve been wearing it in colder weather ever since and will get it out of its box as the colder months arrive. I also used to dislike Estée Lauder’s Bronze Goddess and this summer I somehow fell in love with it. Long story short, I think our individual skin chemistry and overall taste change so much throughout the years that what we used to hate, might become a newfound favourite later on. I’d keep testing these fragrances and maybe one day they’ll be the perfect match!

    These fragrances are among the top selling perfumes in the world. I personally own SIX (6) of these. It is my personal opinion that this survey is for the most LOVED fragrances. Also, as a side note, fragrance is a personal preference and how it smells on an individual is completely based upon one's body chemistry. Ten women can wear the same fragrance and it smells different on all ten! You can wear an inexpensive fragrance but if it blends well with your body chemistry, you will smell like a million bucks!

    A perfume always blendd with a person's own chemistry. When it's good, it can be amazing! But when it's not a good mix, nothing can fix it, no matter how expensive or cheap it is.
    When I was a very young teen, I thought Giorgio's Red smelled lovely. Then I worked for a woman who bathed in it every day. It was so nasty when she wore it, poor thing. Eyes watered, noses stung... every single day. So if a cologne doesn't work for you, it seriously wasn't made for you & your body. 😊❤

      It often comes down to the amount you spray. If you're an oversprayer and douse yourself in anything, it quickly becomes annoying and unpleasant.
      Also, the more you spray, the less you smell it yourself (anosmia), and people around you suffer. Using only one perfume also makes you get used to it, and not smelling it yourself anymore, which leads to overspraying.

    I like Chanel or Alien if I want to feel sterile yet powerful for work. Armani Si reminds me of a Christmas hug. Angel is sweet, not my personal style but if I want a touch of lightness and elegance I adore Twilly d'hermes. ❤️
