Perfumes that didn't work for you...

[TheImportersWife]

Ever fall in love with a perfume/cologne in a store, in a magazine or on someone else, but as soon as you purchased it and/or put it on it just didn't work for you?

I get so bummed when that happens.


So far I've had to give away or toss the following:

Issey Miyake - L'eau D'Issey
Hermes - Eau Des Merveilles
Ralph Lauren - Blue
Bvlgari - Pour Femme

Oh good thread! Fracas was HORRIBLE on me!

Stella Mcartney - Sheer stella. It smelt like I had sprayed beer on me :'(

Jo Malone:
All of them smells divine. The assistant lady knows how to mix them but I'm really stupid so I always mess up when it comes to combining them together.

I tried mixing Lime Basil & Mandarin with Verbenas but it always comes out too 'crispy' as if I've just been eating a tonne of lemons .

Another is Eau d'Hermès.

Angel for me also, smelled just terrible.

And JPG Classique - the heavy vanilla doesnt work on my skin at all - as much as I love the bottle & the ads... But I can wear the summerversion - hence my avatar!

I almost forgot about Angel. It smells horrible on me, but on my friend it smells so delicious. Such a shame!

Clinique Happy didn't work for me either. It smelled like mens' cologne.
