13 Awful-Smelling FragrancesFrom Lancome to Avon, these women's perfumes left Total Beauty readers itching, gagging and more |
2 of 14
Why: Readers say this perfume "screams old lady," is "not youthful at all," and has a "dated fragrance." The "musky" and "woody" scent also has a touch of "floral" to it, which reminded one reader of a combination of her "grandmother and trees." Readers say this perfume is "not original," "definitely forgettable" and smells like "cheap, rose-scented baby powder," almost like they "just slapped it together in 10 minutes." One reader hated it so much that "after an hour of wearing a single spritz of this perfume, I found myself furiously trying to wash it off my arm."

"Gucci by Gucci" from what I can recall, was not particularly satisfying to my nose.

I personally like Flower by Kenzo and Gucci by Gucci - and I have other pet peeves: Insolence by Guerlain (a very particular smell that clung to my skin for days) and Issey Miyake - I love the smell but it gives me headaches

Flower By Kenzo really is horrible.

Nice job--I agree with the majority of your choices. Just because something says "Gucci" doesn't mean it actually smells good!

I'm glad I didn't see anything that I have.

Victoria's Secret Rapture made me so sick that now every time I smell it, I get a headache.

I actually love the mariah carey perfume and it lasts me all day.
